Highlights, Zimbabwe vs Ireland, 2nd T20I in Harare: IRE level series 1-1

Toss update: Ireland have won the toss and opted to bowl in the second T20I against hosts Zimbabwe in Harare.

Playing XI:

Zimbabwe: Craig Ervine(Captain), Tadiwanashe Marumani, Wesley Madhevere, Innocent Kaia, Sean Williams, Ryan Burl, Clive Madande(wk), Brad Evans, Wellington Masakadza, Richard Ngarava, Tendai Chatara

Ireland: Andrew Balbirnie(Captain), Ross Adair, Stephen Doheny(w), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Tyrone Kane, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Fionn Hand, Graham Hume

Preview: Zimbabwe enter the second T20I against Ireland in Harare on Saturday, knowing a win will help them seal the series with a game to spare.

Harare-born Gary Ballance, who has previously played international cricket for England, made his Zimbabwe debut in the first T20I, scoring a match-winning 30 as Zimbabwe chased down a target of 115 with five wickets to spare.

Ireland’s batting looked far from impressive, with as many as seven batters, including Andrew Balbirnie being dismissed for single figures.

Gareth Delaney (24), Curtis Campher (20) and Stephen Doheny (15) were the only Irish batters with a two-figure mark with the bat, and if the first T20I is to go by, then the visitors need to step up their batting.

Zimbabwe’s chase was not straightforward despite the target being moderate, after they lost skipper Craig Ervine and Tadiwanashe Marumani inside the first two overs. However, Ballance, Sean Williams (34*) and Clive Madande (18*) ensured the hosts cross the finish line with seven balls to spare.

Past masters of Indian badminton: Meena Shah defied norm to clinch dozen national titles before knee injury cut career short

In the history of women’s badminton in India, there have been three outstanding players who have each had the distinction of bagging the national singles title seven times in a row. The first of these was Meena Shah, who made the national crown her own between 1959 and ’65; the second was Madhumita Goswami-Bisht, who won the title in an unbroken reel of seven from 1984 to ’90, and ended up with ten singles crowns; and the third was Aparna Popat, who made it nine in a row between 1997 and 2005. Stroke artist Ami Ghia-Shah, who reached an unbelievable 15 national singles finals among the 36 summit clashes she managed in a 19-year career, has also been anointed national singles queen on seven occasions, but these were not in consecutive years. Ami won four consecutive titles from 1973 to ’76, and then again in 1979, ’80 and ’83. There is one thing that Aparna, Madhumita and Ami had in common – they have all been slim and trim during their reign at the top. Meena Shah, on the other hand
