HARARE: Zimbabwe won a Twenty20 series against Ireland 1-0 in Harare on Tuesday after rain forced a shortened final match of three to be abandoned with no result. There was also no result due to rain in the first match last Saturday, and Zimbabwe won by three wickets the following day, in the only fixture to be completed.
Zimbabwe posted 142-6 in the final tour fixture after pre-match rain forced a 50-minute delay. The rain returned after its innings, preventing Ireland from batting. Captain Sikandar Raza top scored for Zimbabwe with his 34-run knock, including two sixes and two fours in a match reduced to 18 overs a side by the weather. Tony Munyonga, whose unbeaten 43 was instrumental in the victory on Sunday, and undefeated Tashinga Musekiwa contributed 26 runs each.
Spinner Gareth Delany (2-5) and fast medium pacer Craig Young (2-38) did best among the Irish bowlers.
The success completed a white-ball double for Zimbabwe. Agencies
