Humphreys Bags Six Scalps As Ireland Beat Zimbabwe By 63 Runs In One-off Test
Spinner Matthew Humphreys: Spinner Matthew Humphreys bagged career-best figures of 6-57 to help Ireland clinch a 63-run win over Zimbabwe on day five of the one-off Test against Zimbabwe at the Queens Sports Club on Monday.
Resuming day five from 183/7, Zimbabwe ended up being dismissed for 228, with Ireland wrapping up their innings in 18.3 overs of the final day’s play. Humphreys taking his first five-wicket haul in just his third Test match appearance also propelled Ireland to complete their first hat-trick of wins in Test cricket since they were awarded the status of playing the longer format internationally.
Wessly Madhevere batted 195 balls for his knock of 84 and waged a lone battle for Zimbabwe, with Newman Nyamhuri being trapped lbw by Humphreys. But once Humphreys castled him in the 84th over with the new ball on day five, it was all but over for Zimbabwe.
