Harry Tector's gritty 54 off 35 deliveries and Dockrell's quick-fire 49 off 32 deliveries helped Ireland chase down Zimbabwe's total comfortably.

Ireland seemed to be in big trouble earlier on. As they were stuttering for 37-4. But Docrkell and Tector combined an unbeaten partnership of 104 to bury down the dreams of Zimbabwe. Dockrell in particular played a real gem of an innings as he snatched the game away from Zimbabwe.
