IRE VS ZIM - 3rd ODI, Zimbabwe tour of Ireland, 2019

That brings an end to the coverage of today's contest. Ireland have won the ODI series by 3-0 margin and the action now moves to T20Is - three of them. Can Zimbabwe bounce back in the shortest format or will the trend continue? Join us on Wednesday (July 10) for the first match of the T20I series to find that out. For now, it's a goodbye from our side!

17:59 Local Time, 16:59 GMT, 22:29 IST: Ireland have managed to inflict a whitewash over Zimbabwe, for the first time ever they have managed to clean-sweep a full member nation. They have been clinical right throughout the series. The hosts won the opening match comfortably, came out on top in the second match which was a closely fought contest. But today they were class apart. The only thing that went right for Zimbabwe was the toss. It was a downward slide for the rest of the day. First it were the Irish pacers who kept chipping at the wickets regularly and Zimbabwean innings never got the impetus as they were eventually wrapped up for 190. And that kind of a total was never going to challenge Ireland, especially with the top-order batsmen in form in addition to the advantage of home conditions. All the batsmen chipped in with valuable contributions as the hosts got over the line in the 42nd over with 6 wickets in hand.
