So, that's it then for the first ODI. Join us for the second ODI on Thrusday. Until then goodbye and take care.

19:21 Local Time, 18:21 GMT, 23:51 IST: Ireland win this thriller to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Stirling and Andrew Balbirnie got the ball rolling for Ireland. They stitched together a 105-run partnership which laid the platform for the chase. Stirling parted ways with Balbirnie on 59 but the latter was determined. He paced his innings brilliantly and scored a magnificent ton to bring his country close to the victory. When everything was going Ireland's way, Balbirnie got run-out. And that opened up the doors for Zimbabwe. But Adair who earlier in the day took 4 wickets with the ball was superb with the bat too. His 21 runs cameo in just 13 balls took Ireland over the line.
