Rain ruins Ireland-Zimbabwe clash

The second ODI between Ireland and Zimbabwe in Belfast on Friday was abandoned due to rain.

The match ended with no result after Ireland scored 282-8 from their 50 overs.

William Porterfield top-scored with 67 and Harry Tector smashed 55 from 42 balls before the rain intervened.

Richard Ngarava was the pick of Zimbabwe’s bowlers with figures of 3-52 from nine overs.

Zimbabwe were denied a chance to start their run chase as the heavy showers took hold.

They lead the three-match series 1-0 after their 38-run success in Wednesday’s opener.

The tourists have a chance to win the series with a victory in the final game on Monday.
