Opening post

Will we get 40 overs in to get a result? Only time will tell.

Looks like the forecast is suggesting rain will start 35-40 overs into the game, so unless there is a restart with another 20 overs, the match will be a washout, with each team getting 5 points.

Will the revised target still be under 6 an over?


Nope. A 20-over chase will be 160 on DLS.

That will be difficut in these conditions

Raining again! Covers on....

Not going to get a result here.

Pathetic drainage in stormont ..people of Ireland say ...with rain coming again that should be it

Very light drizzle currently. Still an hour until the cut-off so who knows.

Presumably Ervine & Rajput will be trying to delay and get it called off though....5 points after conceding 280+ in these conditions seems like a decent result for us.

They must have had their reasons. I'm sure Ervine didn't make that decision alone. Problem I think we have is that with DLS every single wicket counts. Where do we play Shumba and Wes if their wickets are absolutely vital to the equation? It's a tricky one.

I hope we get at least 30-35 overs. We get too nervous in these kind of situations. 20 overs could be a death sentence for us


I remember a very famous match were DLS projected us to chase 230 in 40 Overs. Still not over that game


Yes a very 'famous' game for zimbabwe fans.

:cry:

I will take 5 here. But our chances will get even slimmer for auto qualification.

Further inspection at 5.15pm local time. Surprised they haven't called it off tbh.

Never going to auto qualify mate! Just get ourselves above Ireland and the Dutch and go into the qualifier with a bit of confidence and momentum.

Cause the Irish are fancying their chances 😂

This is why as a host nation Zimbabwe are miles ahead of countries like Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands.

It has taken just 40 mins of rain to washout a game in Ireland. I'm sure Zimbabwe do a much better job of managing the ground and the drainage system.
Blessing in disguise for Zimbabwe as they would have probably lost the game

Yeah harare sports club is world class compatively but two things. Harare is high altitude and Zimbabwe has generally great weather. 2. Zimbabwe gets a lot more funding from icc to put into their grounds than the other nations and mainly uses the one ground (Harare sports club)

The rain does sound like it was pretty heavy when it fell. But yeah, we should remember these Irish grounds are basically standard village cricket fields. Not state of the art stadiums with drainage or anything.

Think the issue was the wicket as well as the outfield. Earlier there were a dozen frantic groundsmen trying to dry the main strip with bath towels, rolls of paper towels, leaf blowers and all sorts. Seems like the main cover leaked!

That's what folks. Which means a little bit if rain on Monday and we could have another washout. In any case I would want Zimbabwe to bat first.
Veteran
So clearly Monday is another wash off

Yeah. And score at least 250. We are good defenders.
