Zimbabwe fell to Ireland by three wickets on the final ball, and will need to pull out a victory today to have a realistic chance at reaching the Super 10. Tinashe Panyangara bowled a 4-37 to lead the charge, and made 163-5 from their 20 overs
while batting first. Tendai Chatara and Sean Williams also bowled well, limiting the Irish batsmen to an extent, but not enough to eke out a win.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, were dominant with the bats putting up a 151 all out from 19.5 overs, while averaging 7.61 runs per over. Stephan Myburgh excelled, with 55 from 36 balls and Wesley Barresi registered an unbeaten 34.
Panyangara will be the most important piece for Zimbabwe today after taking four wickets against the Irish. They will need him to build on that effort today if they want to get in the win column during this T20. He's an elite wicket-taker, which is vastly important against potent lineups.
