CAPTAIN PAUL STIRLING, Mark Adair and Curtis Campher played pivotal roles as Ireland beat Zimbabwe by six wickets to level a one-day international series with one match left.
After the early loss of opener Andy Balbirnie , Stirling and Campher put on 144 runs for the second wicket to steer the tourists toward a convincing victory. “Restricting Zimbabwe to 245 boosted our morale as that was a target we could chase. Matches come thick and fast these days and now we must prepare for the decider.”
Struggling with cramps, Stirling had to settle for a 31st ODI half-century after a miscued pull shot off Richard Ngarava took a leading edge and Madhevere made a catch at extra cover.
