As for the match, McBirne and Tucker added 96 for the sixth wicket before the latter chopped on from Blessing Muzarabani with Ireland still 41 runs short of victory. Mark Adair, however, who was born in nearby Holywood, settled quickly making 24 not out and hitting the winning boundary as Ireland finished on 158-6 to triumph with more than a day to spare. Off-spinner McBrine was named player of the match after the 31-year-old took a combined 7-75 across Zimbabwe's two innings. "McBrine is the guy you want to put in your cricket bag and take everywhere. Exceptionally skilful and deserved the award today," said Ireland captain Andy Balbirnie. Victory gave Ireland, who lost their opening seven Tests, a first home win in the format and back-to-back successes after they had beaten Afghanistan for their Test first win in March.
