00:00There we go, back of a length, that's Ingarava's natural length, he's a tall lad, hits the deck
00:21hard. Now that was a blessing all right, short and wide, not the delivery you wanted to bowl,
00:47that should have been hit into the rugby ground next door. But Mendes had to reach, got the bottom
00:55of the bat and Zimbabwe have been blessed with a wicket. He knows, he knows he got it wrong,
01:06I was trying to say that what he does makes a big difference here. For now he's ahead of the game
01:12as Mendes has gone for one, Sri Lanka are four for one.
01:19Doesn't time that, goes at Mashara, but he's got it well enough to go for four.
01:24He's made his intentions perfectly clear, he's out there to play some shots.
01:32He's thumped that one, one bounce for four, over mid on, full in length from Evans.
01:38Out towards deep mid wicket and a brilliant catch.
01:46Absolutely fantastic out there.
01:52Tony Mnonga diving forward, superb.
01:57Well it's all about the fielding. Zimbabwe making inroads and they've got Patumnisanka.
02:05The fact that the bowlers are backing each other up from each end.
02:10Just forcing the batters to swing, hoping for something to happen.
02:16It was in his arc, Patumnisanka, but again a slower one.
02:22Nisanka couldn't hit it as well as he would have liked.
02:25Goes for another outstanding catch from a Zimbabwean fielder.
02:30Nisanka eight, seventeen for two.
02:36Four, a little bit of width on offer and absolutely belted to the cover boundary by Mashara.
02:46He's clothed that one down the ground and taken by Sikandar Raza.
02:51Bad miscue that by Nuandu Fernando.
02:56I think he was looking to turn it leg side.
02:58It might have been a leading edge, but it's three down for Sri Lanka.
03:02And a two wicket.
03:04A second wicket for Muzarabani.
03:05He hits the deck.
03:07He's trying to hit it over mid wicket.
03:10High on the bat.
03:10Sikandar Raza hangs on gleefully.
03:16He played in the ODI.
03:17I remember he got himself out the exact same way in Nuandu Fernando.
03:21He gets only one.
03:2224 for three.
03:27Sweetly timed by Asalanka.
03:29That'll be four.
03:30What a lovely way to get off the mark.
03:31Through extra cover.
03:32I need to be in particular.
03:35That's a straight shot.
03:36That's a very, very good shot on the up.
03:42Yeah, the horizontal bat.
03:44He really, honestly slapped that one.
03:47Because he knows he can't be dismissed.
03:49Goes to the boundary.
03:52Gone.
03:53You were asking for that Yorker's length.
03:55And he's done exactly that.
03:56To the root of that off stump.
03:59Mishara is the fourth one to go back.
04:01The motion from Brad Evans.
04:05Because he knows how important it was to get Mishara out.
04:10He was looking comfortable in the middle.
04:16Full straight on target.
04:19Brad Evans.
04:21He gets another crucial wicket for Zimbabwe in the power play.
04:2420 at a run of ball for Kamil Mishara.
04:3037 for four.
04:32Start another partnership.
04:39Well, what do you know?
04:40The spinner has got some as well.
04:43That looked pretty adjacent.
04:45Sikandar Raza in his first over.
04:47Gets another wicket.
04:48Kamindu has to walk.
04:50And you believe it or not.
04:52Sri Lanka are 38 for five.
04:55Steering down the barrel.
05:09Yeah, you can't argue much with this.
05:12Dead in front.
05:13Just turned.
05:16And Sikandar Raza.
05:18Effective as he comes on.
05:21And often is.
05:21Kamindu Mendes.
05:23The man who was in charge a couple of days ago.
05:25Goes for north.
05:2638 for five.
05:30Another catch.
05:31Another wicket.
05:32Dasun Shanaka is gone.
05:35Quicker and wider.
05:38He tried to squeeze it through.
05:40Sixth cricket down for Sri Lanka.
05:43This is the second time in this series that we've seen a very good catch
05:47from Tinotenda Maposa.
05:50He's had to move quite sharply to his left.
05:53Shanaka was looking for the boundary here.
05:55This is a delivery with with on it to get the boundary.
05:58But I think Sean Williams has nothing behind the line here.
06:02Oh, they'll have to have a look at that because the call can come from upstairs.
06:15Dasun Shanaka, he's hanging around.
06:18But the umpires had not told him to wait.
06:22But did he have anything behind the line?
06:26First point of impact.
06:28Whether the foot is raised or not.
06:31There should be something behind the line.
06:33Well, they've given him out.
06:33They've called it a fair delivery.
06:36Dasun Shanaka told to keep walking.
06:4115 he's made.
06:43In trouble.
06:43In big trouble Sri Lanka.
06:4564 for six.
06:48Balled.
06:49Another wicket.
06:50It's the captain trying to play it off the stance.
06:55Sri Lanka crumbling and crumbling very fast.
07:00And again at the Zimbabwean crowd.
07:03He's released a roar at Harare Sports Club.
07:10Spina Raza has done it again.
07:16This is a legitimate delivery.
07:24I'm just going to have another look at this one.
07:26It's just not, it's one that carries on straight.
07:37Just hits that top of the off stump.
07:42This is wonderfully bold from Skanda Raza.
07:44As Charitha Salankas gone for 18 from 23.
07:4766 for seven.
07:49That's straight, that's straight.
07:53Another wicket.
07:56Crash landing on Sri Lanka here in Harare.
08:00You can just see the intensity that Skanda Raza is playing this match with this afternoon.
08:06In his reaction to that dismissal.
08:10He's gotten it straight and full.
08:12Crashing into the leg stump.
08:16Another very good delivery here from Skanda Raza.
08:19He picks up his second in this over.
08:22Now BW running on to hit middle and leg.
08:24Shmanta Chimera without scoring.
08:3066 for eight.
08:36Pushing for two here.
08:40And there could be a run out.
08:41There is a run out.
08:42Oh goodness me.
08:43In the last over we saw these two have a little bit of a mix up.
08:47They've had another mix up now.
08:49And it's proved catastrophic from a Sri Lanka perspective.
08:55It's a carbon copy of what happened in the previous over.
08:57Except the fact that Zimbabwe have got the run out.
09:01Hemanta wanting the run.
09:05I guess the fact that he ran down a little bit.
09:08Tikshana is what sold him the dummy.
09:11It was a slight misfield but that didn't have didn't matter because he'd gone so far down.
09:16Hemanta so he has to go.
09:20For seven.
09:22Sri Lanka lose their ninth at 79 for nine.
09:27Oh that's gone straight up in the air.
09:29Raza's getting under it.
09:32And the catch is taken.
09:37It's all over for Sri Lanka.
09:39An absolute disaster with the bat.
09:41Another wicket for Evans.
09:44And Sri Lanka having been put into bat.
09:48Have been bowled out for just 80.
09:53Yeah their second lowest total.
09:56In T20 Internationals.
09:57Their lowest against Zimbabwe.
09:58It's been a monumental effort from Sekunder Raza and his men in the first half of this match.
10:06Looking to heave that leg side.
10:10Bit of extra bounce from Brad Evans.
10:12And that man won't put down opportunities like that.
10:23If you're a Sri Lanka fan turn away now.
10:26Look at that.
10:27Just three players in double figures.
10:31Went wrong from the very second over of the innings.
10:34When Mendes was dismissed off Muzarabani's first delivery.
10:40And it didn't get much better after that.
10:42The Zimbabwe bowling outstanding.
10:44It was indeed right from the start.
10:47And great to see Muzarabani and Maposa coming back strong.
10:51Having bowled Sri Lanka out.
10:52They now require 81 to level things up in this 2020 International Series.
10:58And just 4.05 runs per over is the asking rate.
11:06Then we go from there.
11:10But try and keep the intensity high.
11:12Try and believe that you can make this 80.
11:14That's 4.
11:21Marumani down on one knee.
11:23Created the length.
11:26A deep white is smiling.
11:27He plays it in that region.
11:28But this time it's squared up.
11:29He's beaten that fielder who's placed for that shot.
11:35Yeah the line is not right.
11:36I just mentioned it at the first ball of his over.
11:40Balling on the legs or around the thigh pad.
11:42You're looking for trouble.
11:44Oh he's fired it.
11:47It will take some catching.
11:48The keepers ask for that.
11:49He's the best man with the gloves.
11:51Minus one.
11:52Nine to go.
11:53They've struck.
11:54They've been looking for that.
11:55And Jameera has been ever so good in this tour.
11:59Yeah they got a wicket but the body language tells you a story.
12:07Jameera it is.
12:09Jameera is the go-to man.
12:10Just as Iowa seeping braces on Marumani.
12:15He tries to hit one off a length.
12:20Mindy's wanted it all the time.
12:23A couple of good shots.
12:24From 31 Banase Marumani who scored 17-20 for one.
12:32Oh it has worked round the wicket.
12:35Straight away they know that that has been a bit of an area of trouble for Sean Williams.
12:40And that angle has worked.
12:41Two in the over.
12:44What a champion.
12:46Dushmanta Jameera.
12:48He stays fit.
12:49You will start seeing the best of him.
12:54Or what he can actually do.
12:56What belief.
13:00What execution.
13:02When your team needs.
13:06The angle as you mentioned.
13:08Fast top of off stamp.
13:10Williams goes for naught.
13:1220 for two.
13:12Bold.
13:17Another wicket for Chimera.
13:19A drag on by the captain.
13:22Just lost his shape there.
13:24Trying to hit the ball a little bit too hard.
13:25I rather fancy.
13:29And Sri Lanka are still in this match.
13:32This is another wicket that's gone to plan.
13:36Segunda Raza has been getting out to the short ball in white cricket a lot lately.
13:40And this is banged into the wicket.
13:43Cools on the pull shot.
13:44Doesn't get into position to play it well.
13:49He's gone for two.
13:5027 for three.
13:56It's a good shot from Bennett.
13:59Because it wasn't all that short.
14:01But he got onto the back foot so quickly.
14:06I think there was a little bit of bat on that.
14:09It's a race down to the boundary.
14:10And yes indeed.
14:15Top edge.
14:15That will be four more.
14:17Use of the short ball from Chimera.
14:24Out.
14:25Caught and bowled.
14:27Bennett can't believe it.
14:28He's just chipped the ball straight back to Benura Fernando.
14:32And Sri Lanka is still alive in this match.
14:38This is the second time in about as many overs that
14:42Brian Bennett's miss hit a ball off the front foot.
14:46Suggesting there might be a little slowing in this wicket.
14:49As he gives a very simple return catch.
14:52No timing at all.
14:56He's gone from 19 from 23.
14:59And it's 53 for four.
15:06Go on.
15:06Straight one.
15:09Dixon gets a wicket.
15:12He's been bare in terms of picking up wickets.
15:14But here he gets one.
15:16Kosalmendes said.
15:18Ball a straight one.
15:19A quicker one.
15:21Munyonga.
15:22Munyonga.
15:25Well we all get it wrong at some stage.
15:27Munyonga gets it wrong here.
15:30Yeah he does.
15:31He's looking to go leg side.
15:34And just as you're speaking about Tikshara.
15:36He makes an impact.
15:37Keep Sri Lanka in the game.
15:39Munyonga gone for three.
15:4161 for five.
15:42Swim after being struck in the pad.
15:45Outside edge.
15:47It will run away.
15:48Very quick.
15:48Karari Sports Club outfield.
15:55Good shot.
15:55In the gap.
15:56Should be a boundary.
15:57Sports level with that four.
16:00Musakeva has looked good.
16:05There you go.
16:07They register their second win against Sri Lanka in T20 Internationals.
16:11And they've given a big gift to this crowd here on a weekend.
16:15And something to look forward to for the final.
16:18Winning by this match by five wickets at the Harare Sports Club.
16:22It wasn't a short game in terms of what was played.
16:27But it was quick.
16:28Sri Lanka got to 80 all out in the 18th over.
16:32And it was three for 11 from Sikandar Razan.
16:34Three for 15 for Evans.
16:36The damage was on.
16:37Zimbabwe in their chase finished it off in the 15th over with 84 for five.
16:42Winning the second T20 Internationals by five wickets.
16:45Long film or Parceca Hall.
17:00There you go.
