Ireland 204 for 3 (Balbirnie 82*, Campher 40, Mavuta 1-19) beat Zimbabwe 197 (Gumbie 72*, Hume 4-34, Campher 4-37) by 7 wickets (DLS)
Set a DLS-adjusted target of 201 from 40 overs, Ireland lost Paul Stirling early, but a 70-run stand between Balbirnie and Campher meant that the visitors were set to finish their tour of Zimbabwe on a high barring a spectacular collapse.
While Balbirnie struggled to get the ball away in the first ten overs, opting for a more watchful approach on a tricky surface, Campher followed up his half-century from the second ODI with a fluent 40 with six boundaries before a stunning catch from Wellington Masakadza at midwicket denied him consecutive fifties.
Balbirnie continued to hold one end down as Tector then went about being the aggressor as they added another 63 runs to consolidate Ireland’s position.
Lorcan Tucker hit back-to-back boundaries to crown Ireland winners of both the ODI and T20I series.
