In the second Group B match at the Bellerive Oval, Sikandar Raza smashed a 48-ball 82 as Zimbabwe defeated Ireland by 31 runs on their return to the T20 World Cup after 2016.
Raza hogged the limelight with his explosive half century as he lifted his side from 37 for 3 to an imposing 174/7.
Ireland were never in the hunt in their chase and ended at 143 for 9 with the off-spin all-rounder Raza also grabbing one wicket. He finished with figures of 3-0-22-1.
"The goal we brought was to get into the Super 12 and take some of the big teams and see where we go," said Raza.
