run-out at the bowler's end! A yorker on off stump, and Chatara pushes at that toward midwicket. Ngarava has already rushed down the wicket by the time the ball reaches the fielder, who is pretty close. The throw arrives and hits the stumps to catch him short, and with that comes Ireland 40-run win as they go 2-1 up

6.07pm Chasing 179 would have been always difficult, and losing wickets early didn't help Zimbabwe either. Once they were 56 for 4 in the eighth over, they never really stood a chance. Credit to Adair, Little, White and Getkate for sticking to accurate lines and lengths on a slow track, but boy the win was set up by Stirling's unbeaten 115!
KuJo: "@Abhai - With 10 Team IPL scheduled in the coming years, I am sure a lot of players from Namibia, ZIM, Ireland will get a look in."
Time for the presentation now.
Stirling, obviously, is the Player of the Match: "Tricky start, managed to get through the new ball. Just try and get a score for the team. We were chatting about 150-160, but we were absolutely delighted getting 170. [Tapping the ground with the celebration] Probably should have hit that ball for six - it was a low full-toss! Toss is crucial to win such games. To go and win from behind the eight ball is special. [On O'Brien] Delighted to see him back in the runs. Looking forward to him scoring."
Ervine, the Zimbabwe captain: "Our were 10-11 overs we restricted them well. But Stirling attacked those last six-eight overs. Getting wickets restricts guys. We didn't get wickets up front. The guys missed their mark today. Stirling gives a boost to Ireland first up, and if you don't get him early, it can cost. We have to find our way to get through those first six overs of the bat... That has killed our momentum."
Here's the winning captain Balbirnie: "[Complete performance?] The wicket played differently to what we thought., Everyone did their roles pretty well. [On Stirling?] Someone opens the batting, and knocks 115 - you've got to take your hats off! You've got to have a firing Stirling. Even Shane getting quick runs was crucial. We're lucky we have four fast bowlers at the moment. We have got to make sure we look after them, those four are really important. Shane has been really important with the ball. We want to win the series, we were desperately upset with how we did in the first game."
With that, we come to the end of a solid performance from Ireland. They go 2-1 up, and will be eyeing the series with a repeat tomorrow. Zimbabwe, though, have less than 24 hours to find a solution to their problems, with the fourth T20I to take place at the same place and at the same time on Thursday. Until then, it is a goodbye from Vairavan, Karthik and me, Himanshu!

good length ball and outside off. The batter jabs at that without any foot movement and by opening the bat face, but is beaten

1
Adair to Chatara, 1 run
slower ball, but this is shortish in length just outside off. Pushed to deep point
Abhai:"Ryan Burl is definitely worth an IPL gig. One of the relatively more reliable hard hitters for Zim in these difficult times. Could come good. And he can bowl very useful legspin, too."

1
Adair to Ngarava, 1 run
gets this off the inside edge to fine leg. Goes for the heave first ball to this full ball on middle, and backs away to hoick at that
Ngarava is the last man. Getkate around the wicket
17.4
W
Adair to Burl, OUT
taken at fine leg! The entertainment is over. Slower ball on a good length on leg stump, and he swivels while playing that pull, which was really well timed. But because the boundary is pretty big on that side, the ball had to travel a long distance. Simi takes a good, low catch on the fence though

Adair to Chatara, 1 run
dabs this to third man now. Another full ball on off, but much closer to off. He waits for that to come, and taps that gently

•
Adair to Chatara, no run
fullish and wide of off, and a slower ball. Beaten on his cut. Thinks about a bye to get Burl back on strike, but there is hardly a run there
Over the wicket to Chatara

Getkate to Chatara, no run
Run-out chance, but Chatara is safe at the keeper's end. A change of pace again, as he tucked that to short fine leg off a fullish length on middle

Getkate to Burl, 1 run
full and wide of off. Almost a yorker, as he drives to long-off

Getkate to Burl, 1 run
drags another full and wide ball outside off to long-on. Hit that very hard and along the ground
The ball is sanitised after that hit.

Getkate to Burl, SIX runs
tonked over the bowler! This is full and wide of off, and right in the slot for him to slice that over the bowler's head for six. That was in the slot, and bang!
Keeper up right away
Getkate runs in, but withdraws

Getkate to Burl, FOUR runs
Burl walks across, and beats short fine leg with his scoop. He was way outside off even before the bowler delivered it fullish and wide of off, and simply tucked that away to the right of the fielder inside the circle
Getkate into his last over, from over the wicket. Some late entertainment from Burl here?

bowls this from wide of the crease. Full delivery on off, and Chatara can only tap that to the man at cover
Chatara in at No. 10. Little switches to around the wicket
15.5
W
Little to Masakadza, OUT
crashes into the stumps! That was too quick a ball for any tailender, and a really teasing length too. A fullish ball pitching on middle and off, and straightening after landing to strike his middle stump. There comes the airplane celebration, as Zimbabwe lose their eighth and Ireland inch closer
Wellington Masakadza b Little 4 (6b 0x4 0x6 11m) SR: 66.66

1
Little to Burl, 1 run
The bowler kicks that on to the stumps at the keeper's end and appeals for run-out, but nothing there. Short of a length on off, and Burl just drops his hands to tap that ball really close to the stumps
15.3
•
Little to Burl, no run
tries to slog that beyond the deep midwicket area, but misses. Another full ball, but this is much closer to off, as the bowler can't believe how the ball has missed the stumps
15.2
4
Little to Burl, FOUR runs
just beats the leaping keeper! Takes a slight step across off, and goes for the ramp really late to this full ball wide of off, only to get a top edge
David Price: "As good as bowling has been its all because of Stirling putting runs on the board. Ireland are so dependant on him, its not healthy. It's worse than England's reliance on Root."

Little to Burl, no run
takes a skip down the wicket, but misses his attempted slash to this fullish ball just outside off
Little back for his third. Over the wicket
