Listless Sri Lanka succumb to Zimbabwe by 67 runs

ZIMBABWE produced a dominant all-round performance to rout Sri Lanka for 95 and win their second match of the T20I Tri-Series by 67 runs at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium yesterday.

Listless Sri Lanka succumb to Zimbabwe by 67 runs

Having lost their first match to Pakistan two days ago, Zimbabwe put up a clinical show to outwit Sri Lanka in all departments of the game and secure only their third win in 11 T20I matches against Sri Lanka.

The tone for Zimbabwe was set in the opening over when Richard Ngarava hit the pitch hard and got the prize wicket of Pathum Nissanka for a duck. Tinotenda Maposa followed it with Kusal Perera’s wicket in the next over and Sri Lanka never looked like they were in it from then. They went through their lowest powerplay this year — 25-2 (6) — in 14 T20Is.
