Zimbabwe Wins ODI Series Against Ireland 2-1

Ben Curran's unbeaten century of 118 runs led Zimbabwe to a decisive nine-wicket victory over Ireland, clinching the one-day international series 2-1 in Harare. Curran, supported by Brian Bennett and captain Craig Ervine, helped chase down Ireland's target of 240 with 63 balls to spare, marking his first international century. This victory was especially significant for Zimbabwe, following earlier series defeats against Pakistan and Afghanistan. Ireland's innings featured half-centuries from Andrew Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker, and Harry Tector, but their total was insufficient against the formidable Zimbabwean response. The series saw Zimbabwe win the opener and Ireland level it in the second match before Zimbabwe's final triumph. The teams will now proceed to a three-match T20 series, with Ireland missing Ross Adair due to injury.
