That concludes proceedings from the second T20I. The third and final game of the tour is on Tuesday. Can Ireland square the series? Join us then to find out. For now, switch tabs and follow the closing moments between Pakistan and India in the Champions Trophy. Cheers!!
Sikandar Raza: Most impressive thing was how we finished off in the death with the ball. I thought when they had 50 odd in the powerplay I thought this is a 150 wicket, so I thought they are may be 8-10 runs below par. I am really happy for Tony as well. He is one of our leading run scorer in List A cricket, hopefully this is the start of many more Man of the Match awards for him.
Paul Stirling: We were right on top if you compare the first 10 overs of both teams, probably did not finish well with the bat as well as we would have liked. There was some spin on offer. He (Tector) is a huge player for us and he has been in good nick with the bat as well. He (Craig Young) is a stalwart for us and glad to see him back in the side.

Hume to Munyonga, FOUR, to sweeper cover
19.1
Hume to Ngarava, 1 run, to long-on
18.6
Young to Ngarava, 1 run, full delivery just outside off, Ngarava slogs and gets it off the toe end to the left of deep mid-wicket
Just one hit away...
18.5
Young to Munyonga, 1 run, back of a length on the pads, clipped away into the mid-wicket pocket for an easy single
18.4
Young to Ngarava, 1 run, another top-edge on the pull and this one drops well short of the fielder at deep square. Ngarava is not happy and asks the umpire for a possible no ball (second bumper of the over). Nothing doing...
18.3
Young to Ngarava, FOUR, the crowd are loving it. Some are dancing while some are whistling and hooting
18.2
Young to Ngarava, no run, bumper on the stumps, Ngarava looks to pull and gets beaten on the top-edge. Appeal for caught behind, but no dice!
18.1
Young to Ngarava, FOUR, to fine leg
Craig Young [3.0-0-13-4] is back into the attack
Zimbabwe should be thinking 3 big hits and Ireland should be thinking just a matter of one false shot from Munyonga in the next 3-4 balls...
17.6
Hume to Munyonga, no run, slower length delivery outside off, Munyonga splices it to the left of cover
17.5

17.4
