Summary Ed Joyce's 112 was the cornerstone of the innings.
HOBART (AFP) - Ireland made 331 for eight against Zimbabwe, after losing the toss, in their World Cup Pool B match at Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Saturday.
Ed Joyce s 112 was the cornerstone of the innings and Andrew Balbirnie (97) was unlucky not to reach three figures as well when he was run out in the last over.
Zimbabwe, in a match they had to win to keep their quarter-final hopes alive, saw Tendai Chatara and spinner Sean Williams take three wickets apiece.
