Wessly Madhevere’s unbeaten 61 kept alive Zimbabwe’s slim hopes of success in their one-off test against Ireland at the Queens Sports Club on Sunday where they need 109 runs to win while Ireland are three wickets from victory.
Zimbabwe were 183-7 when bad light brought play to a premature close at the end of the fourth day, which had been largely interrupted by rain.
Zimbabwe resumed on 38-3 overnight, still 254 runs from victory, and lost a further four wickets as Matthew Humphreys returned figures of 4-41 for the Irish.
