George Dockrell's late boundary sealed a dramatic T20 win for Ireland over Zimbabwe and set up a Sunday decider in the three-match series in Harare.
Dockrell hit a two followed by a boundary in the final over as the tourists recovered from the loss of early wickets to scramble to victory with four balls to spare.
Zimbabwe looked to build on their opening win as they reached 165 for five at the end of their allotted 20 overs, bolstered by an unbroken sixth-wicket stand of 87 between Clive Madande (44 not out) and Ryan Burl (38no).
The hosts made early inroads into the Ireland order before top-scoring Harry Tector (48) and Curtis Campher (37) steadied the ship.
Ireland still looked likely to come up short before Dockrell stepped up to keep the series alive.
