Zimbabwe vs Ireland: The final T20I between Zimbabwe and Ireland will take place at Harare Sports Club in Harare. Ireland have taken the lead in the series, leading 4-0. Ireland proved their mettle in the 4th T20I match, winning by a margin of nine wickets. Ireland won the toss and chose to bowl first in a rain-shortened encounter that was limited to eight overs each side.
Georgina Dempsey removed Zimbabwe’s Mary-Anne Musonda from the game to start the innings early. Before Pellagia Mujaji was overcome by Cara Murray, Kelis Ndhlovu and Mujaji partnered for 21 runs. Chiedza Dhururu, Loreen Tsuma, and Nyasha Gwanzura were among the batters who contributed, helping the team reach 65 runs in eight overs despite losing five wickets. Ireland bowlers, including as Laura Delany, Cara Murray, and Georgina Dempsey, were instrumental in limiting Zimbabwe’s women’s play.
In reply, Amy Hunter and Gaby Lewis, the opening pair for Ireland Women, established the tone with a 34-run partnership. The fact that Lindouhle Mabhero fired Amy Hunter didn’t stop Ireland’s momentum. With just one wicket lost in 7.5 overs, Gaby Lewis and Orla Prendergast had a 36-run partnership that secured victory. Ireland won handily thanks to 20 runs from Gaby Lewis and 27 more from Orla Prendergast.
