Prendergast helps Ireland to ODI sweep over Zimbabwe
Second one-day international, Stormont Ireland 182-6 (38.5 overs): Prendergast 67, Lewis 44; Tshuma 4-35 Zimbabwe 178 (49.1 overs): Mugeri-Tiripano 56, Mupachikwa, 45; Dalzell 4-36, McBride 3-22 Ireland won by four wickets Scorecard Orla Prendergast hit an unbeaten 67 as Ireland secured a two-game sweep in their one-day international series against Zimbabwe at Stormont. Following a 97-run victory at the Belfast venue on Saturday, as well as a 3-0 win in the T20 series between the sides this month, the hosts won by four wickets on Monday. Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bat but lost their first three wickets for only 38 runs. Alana Dalzell bowled opener Kelis Ndlovu for a first-ball duck before getting Loreen Tshuma to edge to wicket-keeper Amy Hunter for just four. When Chiedza Dhururu was caught lbw by Ava Canning, the tourists' innings looked to be teetering on the brink of collapse. Captain Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano steadied the ship with 56 from 92 balls, while Modester Mupachikwa chipped in with 45 to set Ireland a target of 178. While Ireland lost an early wicket of their own, with Sarah Forbes caught by Biza off the bowling of Chigora for only three runs, captain Gaby Lewis provided 44 off 59 balls. Mupachikwa stumped her fellow wicket keeper Amy Hunter for just 14 but what felt at the time like a potentially key wicket instead brought Prendergast to the crease. Her 67 included seven boundaries and marked her second consecutive half-century in the one-day format as Ireland eased to victory in the 39th over. Ireland return to action in a three-game T20 series against Pakistan in Dublin next month.
