Harry Tector, George Dockrell help Ireland clinch T20I series against Zimbabwe with six-wicket win
Harare: An unbeaten 104-run fifth-wicket stand between Harry Tector and George Dockrell gave Ireland a six-wicket victory over Zimbabwe on Sunday and a first Twenty20 series success in Harare.
Tector scored 54 and Dockrell 49 as Ireland triumphed with eight balls to spare, winning the series 2-1, and gave Paul Stirling a perfect start after succeeding Andy Balbirnie as captain.
“The way George came in and batted took the pressure off me. Credit has to go to him, he batted so well,” said Tector after being named player of the series.
“Generally, the ball stayed low, but it was a good cricket wicket with plenty in it for bowlers and batters.”
Player of the match Dockrell said: “It is always nice when you can chip in on both sides. Had a bit of a bowl in the first game and a bit of a bat in the last two.”
