00:00with the new ball in hand
00:11he came back and grab up after a bit of an injury it's that natural swing in
00:21which he doesn't get for the moment it flies for four first runs
00:26we don't wait which provided and once again a flash of that bat the blade and
00:36they get a boundary jet over slip that's on that late side
00:41now what a catch what a catch in first slip the jump the timing was perfect from
00:49Sikandar Razan you need that support we could see it coming something to give
00:54feet go nowhere well secunders yes it's in the air so there's certainly in my
01:01opinion readjusting short ball it wasn't all that short crucial Mendes onto it in
01:09a flash gets it away for four it'll relieve a bit of pressure nine overs gone 21 for
01:14one club in particular
01:17it's a nice shot up on his toes Patam Nusanka and that gives you an indication of the speed
01:24of the outfield
01:25this time he goes in front of square back-to-back boundaries for Nusanka it's a nice way to end
01:35the over for Sri Lanka it's kept a little bit lower than crucial Mendes expected but he still managed
01:46to get it away for four in the previous over from Ingarava spin on the shorter side that this has been
01:55slapped with the horizontal bat almost taking his partner with it nicely driven a beautiful looking
02:06shot what a proper textbook shot that from bottom not of three took a wicked early on but now it's a
02:17good work or is it from Zadabani we are probably gonna see
02:34yep it's a boundary
02:39gets it very fine very very fine Ingarava has no opportunity to chase that it's the pace that he offers
02:46the second the Raza your innings up he's so strong there he just makes it look so easy gets to his
02:5517th ODI 50. Patam Nusanka third against Zimbabwe and it's been a very very clinical knock because he
03:05has understood what is required of him as a batter with the conditions in mind economical carries on
03:10from the airport and pulled away oh and it'll go for four two different pitches
03:22nice there's a sweeper back Ben Curran won't get the lovely placement he's happy to play second fiddle
03:30in the air in the air in the air that is an outstanding catch it's so difficult running backwards trying
03:41to judge where that ball is going to be it holds up ever so slightly Kus Almendis trying to play it on
03:48side through the shot early just then for swirling around well Williams how about that for an introduction
03:58into the bowling attack
04:04Porks at it gets away with it and it's four
04:08Romeo bowlers just around the 30th but that's a beautiful shot from Samar Rawikrama
04:17he's picked the quick up delivery from Sean Williams has changed ends
04:22and straight away he started off with a short ball a big shout of no from the Zimbabwe captain
04:36short from Muzurbani and punished by Nusanka really good pull shot that
04:43cut away Nusanka it's been such a strength of his in this innings
04:56does it carry
04:58Adande says yes looked like a slower ball a little bit of a cutter maybe the umpires are going to check
05:05Zimbabwe are convinced that this is a wicket
05:14the umpires have come together and we're going to check this particular instance and that's the third umpire
05:22we never talk about how well balanced you've got to be to come forward and get underneath the balls
05:28that i'll have my dundies done everything right here what a big wicket that is
05:39top edge oh and put down
05:43Muzurbani got a hand to that
05:47really good pressure being exerted by to this one because he had to take quite a few steps to his right
05:54and uh just couldn't get balanced enough to cling on to it and hold on to it
06:01wonderful attempt from zarabani
06:06quite deliberately played by samara wikrama you'll get four for that
06:10nicely done played it very late to beat that fielder and will not win the race good clever shot for
06:25that's a good shot that's a good shot you could see it it was in front of middle no doubts for
06:31richard kettlebell at that moment he's missed it completely trying to sweep that
06:35yeah that was missing off missing middle smashing intellect stamp and
06:48new over starts and gone trouble here zimbabwe strikes back
06:54it is trevor guandu who gets a wicket and guess what the big fish the captain goes for six of them both
07:01and looks to force that away on the offside and secunder as a complete
07:12yeah you just talk about that no easy runs to be given away that
07:16length allowed him to just play that will best of 100
07:20plays that well he's fuller from second raza he got underneath that right now evans
07:33very wide go for it he's always gone through
07:37now that's what you don't want when you get things tight that wide down the leg side and then this
07:49good shot up and over backward point and all the way for four really powerful cut shot from linigate
07:55back in your way lean again he's got four it was misjudged out on the cover boundary
08:11that's a cracking pull shot like amindu mendes needs to be used
08:16what a terrific shot that was it's gone all the way for six well russell arnold called for shots down
08:27the ground and we've seen one there not just down the ground onto the roof both were not when they
08:33came together zarambani goes full
08:35it's a lovely clean swing of the bat middled onto the terraces camindu mendes what a quality player
08:49clean strike just picks it off
08:54goes the long way very close to a no ball to that back foot you can't cut touch uh
09:00the pop increase but it's it's fine blue skies the ball say
09:11six more brutal
09:17look at the length it's pitched up he's waiting for it look at the field brian mid-off mid-on both
09:24in the circle you cannot bowl that length the field you have you got to go back for length
09:30and hints
09:37slapped over deep extra cover that's an incredible shot a couple of bounces for four
09:43it was a slower ball
09:48six
09:50they're rattling along these two now the second 50 in their 100 partnership came in just 26 points
09:56he's going to have to bowl just the one over
10:02but it's hurt them early
10:03and how quickly our targets keep changing 267 with 16 balls to go
10:12can still get to 300
10:1950 to mendes it's his third in one day international cricket and his second against
10:24the other one was at number three actually or bowlers who might partner him
10:37drop catch in the deep
10:38ben currant putting the chance down and that's 50 for lina gate as well
10:52mid-off up in the circle and that'll be four more
10:54guandu going to the cleaners here much will it end up with
11:03it's going to be 23 another boundary four fours and a six in this over
11:13bottom hand again from lina gate and again i think it's gone for six he plays that shot so well
11:21powerful hit that's not easy that shorthand jab
11:25mindless thing donny plays that or used to play it
11:32with a lot of power now this innings all round
11:40and garava finishes things off in emphatic fashion the middle stump takes a walk
11:45walk but that doesn't diminish at all the effort of coming to mendes that was a perfect yorker now
11:53that's what you call saving the best for last
11:57that's only sunk a 76 and kus almendi set the foundation right
12:04samaravikrama chipped in they've first surpassed that here's the zimbabwe bowlers six of them used
12:10guandu was expensive when he came back at the back end
12:13oh no that's gone straight up and zimbabwe have lost their first wicket
12:23sadira samaravikrama completes the catch be short in length but
12:28not allowed to get into position at all by the skinny pace
12:35it's probably lose their first wicket
12:41ouch brendan taylor has gifted sri lanka a second wicket and it is a disastrous start for zimbabwe
12:51footwork that allows shot making hair long way from the body and a very simple catch no power through that
13:03nicely played
13:06great way to get off the mark
13:12glorious from sean williams
13:17he probably could have got himself in a slightly better position to play the shot
13:21oh that'll be four
13:28imagine giving dushman to chameer the charge across that uneven bounce
13:35nice nice just time he lent into it
13:39at least three here they could run four no they don't need to
13:43he ends up with a low full toss and is nicely put away
13:57well he succeeds on this occasion giving the charge to the fast baller
14:02and gets a good connection down the line playing his options really well current
14:12yeah that's smart again i tell you what that's very deliberate
14:16he is to provide himself a rule
14:17he can do that he's hit that on the full onto that advertising audience
14:27down on one knee and gets underneath that
14:31intentional looking to get underneath it he hits it better than
14:34it won't be any time closer on that one one bounce into the fence i think against asalanka
14:45and that's how sean williams does it gets the sweep shot out a really effective one
14:50and they'll talk about we'll be happy to see the batter go across the line of the ball and play
15:01sweeps and slot sweeps but not sean williams five they will require from here on
15:08six
15:11what a wonderful shot taking him into the shot and really effective result
15:16yeah another of sean williams's great attributes the use of his feet delayed use of feet and
15:25the manner in which he strikes the five
15:30the tree you can hear is for a half century for ben currant
15:39got 118 on this ground
15:45that'll be 50 for sean williams the captain today
15:49he's 37th 50. he's third against sri lanka and he's 18th in zimbabwe and during the course of
15:56this innings and enjoys nicely controlled pull shot that's hit hard four more that's well played by ben
16:05currant this match progresses
16:07nicely played key in that shot was the placement he got boundary riders three of them on the onside
16:18and he's the faces haven't really been able to break this partnership and should be gone it worked
16:25it has worked finally and they've got williams on the shot that he plays so well placing a fielder
16:32behind the square on the onside in the deep in pursuing break the partnership 118 from 136 balls
16:40and sean williams is gone it doesn't slip away
16:44of reach that's played nicely boundary again so a couple of boundaries in the over and the wicket
16:50partnership just got sean williams of the previous over
16:54straight that was a very giftish sort of a delivery a half track and he's managed to slap that over the
17:01head of the head of the ball at face oh he's got back onto it i would have been a wide but he's got
17:07bat they'll go to the boundary as well raza gets four oh he hasn't got hold of it he hasn't he's gone
17:17that is a big big wicket told you they've got asita fernando to get a wicket here and he's got the man they
17:23wanted current goes for 70 sri lanka surely are in the driving seat good quick high bouncer and ben
17:33current late on it doesn't hit it anyway lovely shot mid-off in the circle there's a big gap there so it
17:43ends the over and spoils the over from asalanka's point of view i hear you helped on its way third man
17:52oh he's taken it asita fernando he wanted it he kept coming and the sri lancans celebrate they feel
18:03they've got underneath that one and from asita fernando i'll tell you such an effort
18:08you rarely see straightforward ones go down usually this is an outstanding effort this type of effort
18:17to see
18:21from asita fernando
18:30lovely shot lovely shot punch down the ground asita fernando will not be able to get to it
18:38i don't think raza's timed that one bounce for four
18:52he's looking for the boundary sukanda raza and he's found it
18:56that releases a little bit of the pressure that had been building up liana gay
18:59good work from the bowler getting back there to prevent the second and this will be the
19:1310th over from the three players liana gay asalanka and liana to make up the
19:27nothing wrong with that bat one bounce for four great improvisation for raza
19:32that's gone like a rocket through extra cover i'm not entirely sure can they finish it off
19:43full toss dealt with boundary that's a rare bad delivery from samira
19:52yes he's played it in the air and oh dropped how big a drop would that be only time will tell
19:59but they come back for three that's excellent running it's again
20:07playing the gym of an innings that was the dropped opportunity no one in the fernando it's something
20:16that he'll remember this drop
20:18yeah that's been played using the pace the boundary that you spoke about has been achieved
20:32oh just over held his shot for a moment he realized it's a slower one ready to perfection
20:39i was just gonna say that since the offside is packed raza might aim for the onside moving across
20:49and he's done exactly that go across let me try and hit the stumps
20:56and he'll cross the batter
21:00scoops it and gone first ball this is turning on his head at the moment
21:06madhushankar has got two of two i guess it's the angle it makes it hard he's got it nicely
21:18he's got it three and three for madhushankar and how about that
21:24now garava
21:29eight wickets down
21:30well it's gone in the air but it doesn't have the distance and even if it did i think the job is
21:40done what an over what a last over from madhushankar out of nowhere he saved the best for the last
21:46finishes off with four for 62. seven run win what a tight game and what a start to the series two wickets
21:56lost with no runs on the board 118 partnership between curran and williams set the tone and then
22:02it was munyonga and raza who took it forward three for fifty for asita fadendo madhushankar the hero in
22:09the end four for 62. chameera and teakshina were good even though they were wicketless thought sri lanka
22:16will get to 298 leana got 17 not out and he was the one who got them in top gear and then zimbabwe
22:22fought back to get to 291 and they lost this game by a margin of
22:41you
