They drew in the cricket 
Hardly ever happens. The last ball was nearly a stumping, which would've meant Zimbabwe would've been all out.
Now my question is, would Ireland have won due to having 1 wicket to spare? Even though the scores were the same?

They ran him out didnt they at the non-strikers end, so they were all out but wickets dont count until the super 8s

That's what I don't get, on the replay his foot was over the line so he shouldve been in. But the scores seem to have ZIM as 221ao.

2 dropped catches as well.
I dont understand why they put that spin bowler in for the last over when that medium fast bowler had an awesome second to last over.
Why didnt they keep him in? Could they have kept him in if they wanted to?

Bowlers have to be rotated every over.

Yes his foot was in but they went down the other end and took the bails off as the non striker had run to the batsmen's end! So they were all out and wickets dont count!!
So to sum up the batsmen facing the last ball wasnt out, the one at the other end was!!

Dont think they showed it, thought the same at first until I heard them say it. I know, he just went for it and the other matey stayed put.
Great game, seemed over at one point until Zimbabwe went Pete Tong.

Best bit was when the Irish bowler scampered across the wicket to stop the ball and it cannoned off his forearm and into the stumps running out the non-striking batsmen
