The Island
|September 02, 2025
Sri Lanka wrapped up the two-match ODI series against Zimbabwe, clinching the second encounter by five wickets with three balls to spare as opener Pathum Nissanka once again rose to the occasion.

The run-machine, who carved his name in history as the first Sri Lankan to notch a double hundred in ODIs last year, turned on the style after Sri Lanka were set a target of 278 in Harare on Sunday.
Nissanka produced a gem of an innings, peppering the ropes with trademark elegance as he batted from start to finish, top-scoring with 122. His vigil spanned 136 deliveries with 16 hits to the fence, bringing up his seventh ODI ton. Only two days earlier in the first ODI, he had chipped in with a polished 76.
