Sylhet Stadium making its debut. Heard that it will be more suited for pacers. Will be fun to watch.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Zimbabwe is batting first.

 

[eradicator]

Ireland won the toss and elected to field

 

[Donal Cozzie]

I think im going to pass out.......

 

[Cricket-Pundit]

I'm confused whom to support as both are my favorite minnow

I think im going to pass out.......

yet to start...

How often do Ireland play when St Patricks day is around!

Supporting both! Its win win

 

[eradicator]

The Irish are more likely to give it tough TO the stronger teams in the 2nd round , so I am supporting them . And we do get to see Zimbabwe playing some odd matches here and there , Ireland seldom do and very very rarely are their matches on TV.

 

[wasimjunior]

Backing Ireland to do the business here..

 

[Boi]

Hope Ireland get smashed. Raza with two consecutive fours!

 

[Electron]

Would love to see Ireland do well, but it's probably the hardest thing being a Zimbabwean Cricketer. They deserve to be in the main draw. Wish them well.

 

[eradicator]

Zimbabwe 12/0 (1.2/20 ov)

 

[eradicator]

Zimbabwe 35/1 (4/20 ov)

Good start by Zimboks

 

[10sion]

56/1 in PP overs. 200 in boys

 

[eradicator]

Zimbabwe 79/3 (9/20 ov)

 

[eradicator]

Zimbabwe 163/5 (20/20 ov)

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Ireland will fall 20-30 short imo.

 

[wasimjunior]

Back Ireland to chase this.

Wilson, Kev O Brien, Joyce, Porterfield, Stirling all very solid bats. Need 2 of them to fire

 

[10sion]

Innings break in the other match. Time to focus here

 

[saiyan0312]

Ireland is going good so far/. I am rooting for them.

 

[saiyan0312]

by stirling... Beast

 

[Ahson8]

Ireland doing really well atm

 

[Asif321]

my god Zimbabwe are going to exit what a sad story

 

[leatherface58]

Stirling in firing line to be poached next.

 

[Executioner]

A poor performance by Zimbabwe The boundaries are very shot and one would have expected Zimbabwe to score 180+ when they were 56-1 after the PP overs.

 

[saiyan0312]

Ireland would have been a much better team if half of their players werent poached.

 

[OZGOD]

Come on Paddies! you can do it!!!

 

[OZGOD]

I think im going to pass out.......

Should be a win with 7 wickets in hand and the RR well under control mate

 

[OZGOD]

Stirling in firing line to be poached next.

Stirling's a bit of a gun for Eire eh. I'm sure the ECB are looking at him

 

[OZGOD]

Geez Wilson is hopeless. Must be a Sweatie in disguise

 

[Convict]

Ireland would have been a much better team if half of their players werent poached.

Zimbos would be a pretty good team with Ballance, the Ervine brothers, Jarvis, Taibu etc

 

[saiyan0312]

they should chase this even with the double strike.

 

[10sion]

13 from 16. KoB killing it.

 

[OZGOD]

Zimbabwe are goneski

 

[OZGOD]

Come on Paddies! Stumble over the line!

 

[Asif321]

Netherlands will fancy their chances now they can beat these 2 teams

 

[Asif321]

twist in tale ?

 

[Executioner]

It has been an exciting contest so far.

And the crowd has been exceptional, no doubt

 

[10sion]

Ireland really trying to make a game out of this.

 

[Executioner]

A super over will do nice

 

[OZGOD]

I knew I shouldn't have picked a hack like Joyce in my team!

 

[Executioner]

Run-out!!!

 

[OZGOD]

Netherlands will fancy their chances now they can beat these 2 teams

Nederlander? Surely you jest.

 

[Asif321]

hahaha choke time

 

[OZGOD]

OMG just hit the ball how hard is it!

 

[OZGOD]

Paddies doing a Seth Efrika

 

[murphyslaw79]

[Gotham Cronie]

[OZGOD]

[Asif321]

[OZGOD]

[thivakar]

The Clove Leaves WINNN

 

[10sion]

Well tried Zimbabwe. But that was a poor ending after 56/1 in 6 overs.

 

[Executioner]

well done Ireland

Feeling bad for Zimbabwe

 

[thivakar]

Zimbabew would have almost tied the game if Taylor had hit the stumps lol

 

[leatherface58]

Lol Irish almost choked. Well done Zimbos and Panyangara who came back well after that pounding in the first over.

 

[Asif321]

heartbreak for Zimbabwe Taylor should have been up at this stage but really great bowling by Chatara and Payangara they destroyed Pakistan in test match
