McBrine would be denied a hat-trick but went on to claim figures of 3-37, while McCarthy took 3-42 to reduce Zimbabwe from 97-0 to 210 all-out.</p> <p>Heavy rain at the conclusion of the first innings denied Ireland’s batters a crack at Zimbabwe’s total but they will come back refreshed to do so at the start of Day Two.</p> <p><strong>MATCH SUMMARY</strong></p> <p><strong>Ireland v Zimbabwe, 1st Test, Day 1, Stormont, Belfast, Northern Ireland — 25 July 2024</strong></p> <p><strong>Zimbabwe 1st innings </strong>210 (71.3 overs; P Masvaure 74, J Gumbie 49; A MCBrine 3-37, B McCarthy 3-42) </p> <p><a href="https://cricketireland.ie/matches/"><em>See full scorecard</em></a></p> <p></p><p>The post <a href="https://cricketireland.ie/news/ireland-men-dominate-day-one-of-zimbabwe-test/">Ireland Men dominate Day One of test against Zimbabwe Men</a> appeared first on <a href="https://cricketireland.ie">Cricket Ireland</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://cricketireland.ie/news/ireland-men-dominate-day-one-of-zimbabwe-test/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Women’s squad named</title> <link>https://cricketireland.ie/news/womens-squad-named-2/</link> <comments>https://cricketireland.ie/news/womens-squad-named-2/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Cricket Ireland]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 24 Jul 2024 18:52:42 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[International]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ireland Women]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://cricketireland.ie/?p=49696</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Ireland Women's squad announced for Sri Lanka T20I and ODI matches</p><p>The post <a href="https://cricketireland.ie/news/womens-squad-named-2/">Women’s squad named</a> appeared first on <a href="https://cricketireland.ie">Cricket Ireland</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Squads have been selected for the upcoming T20I and ODI matches between Ireland Women and Sri Lanka Women which will be taking place in both Belfast and in Dublin. </strong><strong></strong></p> <p>Two 14-player squads have been picked for the three ODIs and two T20Is, with results from the ODIs counting towards the ICC Women’s Championship.

You know, they’ve obviously got one of the world’s best in captain Chamari Attapatu, but the rest of their players seem to be young and hungry and doing really well.
