Ireland have beaten Zimbabwe in an incredibly tight opening game of the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh.

Zimbabwe took 163 for just 5 wickets in their innings, meaning Ireland needed 164 to win.

Despite struggling in the final over, Ireland won by 3 wickets, reaching 164 with the final ball of the game.

The win puts Ireland top of Group B ahead of Netherlands' match with UAE.

The winner of Group B will reach the Super 10 stage and will end up in a five-team group featuring Pakistan, Australia, West Indies and India.
