Zimbabwe vs Ireland 3rd ODI Highlights: Match washed out after 13 overs, ZIM, IRE share trophy

Harare: Zimbabwe won the toss and chose to bat first in a one-day international series decider against Ireland on a spinner-friendly track in Harare on Monday.

The hosts won the first match by three wickets last Wednesday and Ireland drew level three days later with a 46-run victory.

Zimbabwe welcomed back captain and top-order batsman Craig Ervine, who was ruled out of the second match by injury.

Opening batter Paul Stirling continued as stand-in Ireland skipper after Andy Balbirnie was ruled out of the series having suffered a blow to the head during the first match.
