Zim Vs Ireland at Hobart

Zimbabwe require another 44 runs with 4 wickets and 26 balls remaining

Sean Williams on 92*

T Panyangara c Porterfield b Mooney 5

ZIM 305/8

Close desperate game .......O'Brien FOUR ..... and another  FOUR

and SIX !!!!  Unbelievable !!!

19 runs from the penultimate over of the match

What a match ....

Last over ......Seven to win, six balls. Two wickets in hand

Cusack to Chakabva, OUT, and he strikes! Chakabva gets on one knee and looks to swipe across the line from outside off. It's the offcutter, and he inside-edges that into his off stump

Cusack to Mupariwa, OUT, and he's gone.

Ireland have won this. Goes for the big hit over the bowler's head, this was another slower ball, I think, and he didn't get hold of it at all. Got more elevation than distance, and Porterfield, running in from long-on, took it calmly, a captain's catch. Ireland are still in with a definite chance of making the quarterfinals.

Ireland 331/8 (50.0 ov)
Zimbabwe 326 (49.3 ov)

Ireland won by 5 runs

What a fantastic finish !!!!  Great win Ireland !!! .... Great win Uncle Phil !! 

Good win by Ireland to keep their chances alive. The victory for Pakistan have made qualifying harder for Ireland and I think they will not make it out of the group unless they can beat both India and Pakistan to secure their spot.

46.5
KJ O'Brien to Williams, taken! Or is it? That is brilliantly judged by Mooney on the rope. Or is it?

It's full on off stump, and Williams clears his front leg to swing it away over the leg side, hits it well, but picks out Mooney

at deep midwicket, he catches it over his head, he's leaning back very close to the rope, aaaaaaand, they're checking

if he's touched the boundary cushion. Has he? Hasn't he?

Is there a bit of movement? Or is it just the shadow of his foot? They're zooming in, and still it looks indecisive.

They've given it out, and is it because Williams had already left the ground?  :-[

Why did Sean LEAVE on 96 : while the Catch versus 6666666 : was being reviewed ??  :-\
