Ireland, Zimbabwe notch up wins

Ireland has accounted for Canada, getting home by 7 wickets in their World Cup warm-up match at St Augustine's Sir Frank Worrell ground. Set 116 runs for victory, Ireland got to its target with seven wickets and more than 23 overs to spare, with opener Jeremy Bray hitting an unbeaten 41.

Meanwhile Zimbabwe was too strong for Bermuda in their warm up in St Vincent, defeating them by six wickets with 21 overs to spare. Bermuda, did however, improve on their 45 run total they set against England, chalking up a total of 136. It wasn't enough to hold off Zimbabwe though, who were inspired by an unbeaten 72 from Sean Williams.
