Harare: Ireland's left-arm pacer Joshua Little registered the best ODI figures for Ireland, becoming the only second bowler to pick a six-wicket haul in ODI cricket. Joshua Little achieved this feat against Zimbabwe in the second ODI at Harare Sports Club here on Friday.

Joshua Little achieved this milestone after claiming six wickets for 36 runs in his 10 overs including two maidens. He surpassed his captain Paul Stirling's figures of six for 55 against Afghanistan in 2017. He also became the 10th Irish bowler to claim a five-wicket haul in ODIs.
