In the end, it was actually an easy way for Zimbabwe. They won this match with one over left and also by 4 wickets. Actually, I do not think that it was a bad performance from Ireland. I think they did decently enough in this match. But a little more was expected from them when they knew that it was going to be the decider of this series. I believe if Ireland could get at least 15 more, they would have been in for a chance to win this series. And if Ireland could win this series, once again they could have been in the spotlight. Ireland is actually performing well recently.
But they are not being able to win any series against opponents like Zimbabwe and they are also not being able to win against bigger opponents like India at all even though they are performing quite competitively. That's why people are not talking about them.
Currently, both teams are under development but things looking much better for the Zimbabwe because they are rebuilding their side after long time and have positive results which will help them for having good view for the near future Ireland is also doing good as they lost few legendary players recently but still have strong connections in English counties which are giving them good players and experience hopefully these two countries will keep momentum, and we will be able to have improved quality and performance in cricket in near future.
Now, it's good time for these two teams to play as many matches because many other big teams are also having young players as their target is t20i World Cup2024 so preparing for this from now surely give good time and practice for having better results.
