Zimbabwe battled all the way and whilst Williams was out in the middle, it looked like they would complete the victory. Although after losing Williams and Moor in one over, the innings seemed to fall away. With Chigumbura being carried off, with a suspected injury to his leg, its not been the best of warm ups for Zimbabwe. For the Wolves, I'm sure that they will be delighted with the win. The bowlers shared the wickets between them. Although it was probably Cameron-Dow's contribution with the bat that was the difference between the teams. So the Wolves complete the Full Member double this Summer.

The ODI series between Ireland and Zimbabwe starts on Monday, so hopefully you'll be able to join us then. Until then, this is Justin saying goodnight from Eglinton.

Chase to Tiripano, OUT, Its a slow ball and Tiripano looks to muscle the ball over the square leg boundary. He can't get enough power on the shot and McCarthy runs along the boundary to complete the catch. The Wolves win!

McCarthy to Tiripano, 2 runs, slower ball, clipped through square leg. Tiripano was always coming back for the second and it put pressure on the fielder. He can't gather the ball cleanly and they get back with lots to spare
