Ireland vs Zimbabwe, 5th Match, Group D at Kingston, , Mar 15 2007 - Ball by Ball Commentary

drives, misses and it's a tie! What a match; what an incredible last 10 overs. Only the third tie in World Cup history - all three have involved an African nation - and Ireland jump in delight

well what a mad ball. Short, wide, cut just behind backward point who made a brilliant attempt to catch it. They go for a single, in comes the throw - but the batsman appears to run in front of his stumps...and he's home safe! My word this is madness

driven past cover - and he gets the single! This gets Matsikenyeri back on strike - not a good ball from White. Not a good over.

full toss, spooned to midwicket - but no! Dropped? The man came in and appeared to just stop in his tracks, the ball dropping short!

too short, square cut powerfully into the deep

full toss, hammered through cover and long off has a chase to his left...and does well, saving four

GONE! Smacked to mid-on, they run a single - but Matsikenyeri stays at the non-striker's end and mid-on's throw hits the stumps

hammered down the ground - no! Brilliant stop from the bowler's right foot

inside edge! My word that was close

driven back to the bowler - the batsman wants a run! How? Scampers back into his crease

well bowled! Slower, and Mpofu just dabbed it gently to mid-on

GONE! A full toss, slapped straight to cover! A dreadful shot; Ireland are absolutely ecstatic, never mind the fans in the stands

another slower ball but not on target this time; defended.

inside edge, a desperate scrambling single

full, straight, hit back to Botha

gone! Excellent slower ball, bang on middle stump, completely foxing the batsman

slower ball worked into the packed off side

good line, good length and it's blocked out to cover

clonked back to the bowler - good, tight over that

well bowled! Excellent yorker, though it was well dug out
