A closely fought tour saw honours even in the one-day series, while the hosts edged the T20 matches by a 2-1 margin.
Harry Tector starred with the ball in the T20I'ss while his ssuperb recent run with the bat continued in the ODI's. In total he made 254 runs at 63,50, and claimed five wickets with the bat.
Andy Balbirne was also an ODI centurion, while debutants Stephen Doheny and Ross Adair both made impressive half centuries, hinting at depth and challenges to the incumbents.
Mark Adair was back among the wickets after a bit of a barren run, while Graham Hume showed character after coming in for some tap, especially with the last-ball loss in the first ODI.
Harry Tector did well as mentioned in the T20s, while Josh Little showed his quality with four wickets in the ODI series leveller.
There are some concerns with the rest, with a lack of penetration at times.
A very enjoyable series which both sides will take plenty from, especially as it's likely that they will be back in Harare amongst the combatants for 50-over World Cup berths.
