ZIM vs IRE, 2nd ODI Preview

Brian Bennett delivered a Valentine's Day gift to all the cricket lovers at Harare Sports Club with a sublime 169 to set up Zimbabwe's 49-run win in the first ODI against Ireland on Friday. Promoted to opener for the first time in ODI cricket, Bennett struck 56.52% of Zimbabwe's total to give Ireland a target of 300 to chase. Along the way, he also became the fourth-youngest to score 150-plus in a men's ODI and posted the fifth-highest ODI score by a Zimbabwe men's batter.

The 21-year-old opener and 39-year-old captain Craig Ervine (66) played key roles as the home side posted 299 for five in 50 overs. A 73-run mid-innings partnership between George Dockrell (32) and Andy McBrine (34) offered hope to the tourists, but both fell within four balls, and Ireland was all out for 250 in 46 overs. Dockrell and McBrine were dispatched by Blessing Muzarabani, whose 4 for 51 were the best figures among the Zimbabwe bowlers.
