After a good start to the tour, the form-line has only gone downhill for the visitors Zimbabwe. The inexperienced batting line-up has continued to struggled with Zimbabwe not looking like they will pick Brendan Taylor in the shortest format. On the other hand, Ireland have played better with each game. They produced an all-round display on Thursday by posting a total of 174-4 before restricting Zimbabwe to 110-9.
