The Zimbabwe vs Ireland series has moved on to the second T20I which will be played on Sunday in Harare. The first T20I was abandoned due to rain and ended in non result. The second T20I will be played from 5 pm IST which is 1.30 pm local time in Harare.
The series has been very closely fought so far. Ireland won the only Test. Zimbabwe won the first ODI, Ireland came back to win the second and Zimbabwe pulled off a win in the thriller.
The two teams have always remained under the radar but has put up some brilliant performances whenever they have played against each other. Constant rain washed out the first T20I. Both teams would hope that they get to play the second T20I so that the series gets to the decider.
