Zimbabwe 267 and 183 for 7 (Madhevere 61*, Bennett 45, Humphreys 4-41, McCarthy 2-22) needs another 109 races to win Ireland 260 and 298
Ireland felt at home in Bulawayo, although in a slightly tortuous sense, since the rain eliminated large pieces before bad light ended day four. But when taking four Wickts in the 53 overs in two sessions, visitors will come out as favorites on the last day. However, the gloomy forecast for day five could deny Ireland a victory.
Sunday was a day of stop, since the bad weather delayed the beginning in 15 minutes. Barry McCarthy needed six balls to make a disaster of Trevor Gwandu’s stumps with a complete installment that deviated beyond the outer edge.
Brian Bennett survived a nearby cry against Mark Adair in the second during the day. Madhevere’s tactics to cross the line induced an attack advantage, but fell safely to Adair’s left.
Adair and McCarthy played nine of the 12 overs that were possible before the rain stopped the game for almost three hours.
Zimbabwe resumed 71 by 4 after the break and Madhevere survived a difficult opportunity for Craig Young in the first after the summary and entered a gorilla in the helmet a little later. Meanwhile, I had a more serene stay before overcoming Humphreys when the spinner began its long period.
Later, Humphreys fired Nyasha Mayavo, Paul Stirling al Slip grabbing the rebound of Tucker gloves.
Meanwhile, Madhevere arrived at his fifty single test. He and Newman Nyamhuri took Zimbabwe about 200 when bad light forced stumps 12 minutes before scheduled time.
