Zimbabwe v Ireland: Chevrons win T20 series against Irish after game abandoned

Zimbabwe secured a 1-0 series victory over Ireland after the third and final T20 in Harare was abandoned because of rain.

A delayed start saw the game reduced to 18 overs per side with Zimbabwe posting 142-6.

Sikandar Raza top-scored with 34 while Garth Delany took 2-5 in his only over and Craig Young claimed 2-38.

Rain returned before the Irish innings and the game was subsequently called off.

The opener was also abandoned because of rain before the hosts won Sunday’s second match by three wickets.

Ireland started the tour with a 63-run victory over the Chevrons in a one-off Test encounter in Bulawayo.

Zimbabwe hit back by clinching a 2-1 win in the three-match ODI series at the Harare Sports Club.
