00:00Hello, welcome to the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium KFC presents Vigotel Mobile Tri-Nation Series
00:162025. Matchbox number two, it is Sri Lanka taking on Zimbabwe. And at the toss, it was
00:25Shanaka, who won the toss and had no hesitation in bowling first. The openers performed beautifully
00:33in that first game, but they need the middle order to come to the party and battle it more
00:37sensibly, maybe more impetus there. The bowling did hold their own. Sri Lanka, where the new
00:44captain for this Tri-Nation Series, Shanaka the captain, Malinga the debutant, and Chishara
00:51Tikshana, Chameera, Saranga. They'll be wanting to restrict Zimbabwe. Tushara with the first
00:58ball. Straight away, that lower arm, the outswing away from the right-hander. Oh, hits it over
01:11the top. Beautifully played. That is his area. And goes inside out into the fence.
01:16Gorton's the length, but the result is same. That is a fabulous shot on the up. The timing
01:25exquisite. Does it get it through? Yes, he does. Another one through extra cover. Another boundary.
01:37Three boundaries in the over. Oh, belted down the ground. He got the length and he just hit
01:49it back where it came from. Now goes short the edge and that will also race away to the fence.
01:58Change in length, but the result's the same. Catch, yes. Goes round the wicket and first delivery
02:10against a cotton ball. Nicely bowled. Went slightly in the air. Drew the drive.
02:19Marumani, for his part, got his front foot too close to the ball and hence couldn't hit through
02:24the line. He had to adjust it, adjust the plane of the bat to access the ball and could only end up
02:30lobbing it back to Tikshana. They've got a wicket. Sri Lanka, Tadimanashe. Marumani is gone for 10,
02:3826 for 1. Brendan Taylor. Tentive experience, 39 years of age.
02:44And that's a lovely shot. This time off the middle of the bat and a little flourish from Taylor.
02:56Ball to him. Straight through. Oh, what a start for Marlinger. That will bring him great delight.
03:07That's a dream start for the youngster in international cricket. T20. Balling his first over.
03:17And watch the leg stump uprooted. Yes, it's a delight for any fastballer.
03:26A second wicket for Sri Lanka. Oh, he is jubilant.
03:30Static. Why shouldn't he be? He has achieved something, removing Braden Taylor in his first over.
03:3840 for 2.
03:40Sikanda Raza, Zimbabwe's captain, has walked out to the middle.
03:48Shouts of catch it. And it's over. Backward point.
03:52Acres of open space behind him. So four runs.
03:55Oh, that's traveled. That's gone.
04:01Turbocharged was the hitter. Free hit has gone for six.
04:09And gets it over the man.
04:11At shot fine. The ball will run away to the fence.
04:15And it's 50 run partnership as well.
04:17That's lifted.
04:22And makes it all the way over the fence for six.
04:29Oh, that's gone up in the air.
04:31And commentators curse.
04:35My God.
04:38Brian Bennett always holds himself back a little bit in terms of weight.
04:42But Asaranga coming really full this time.
04:45For the first time, this is over.
04:49Forcing him to play a different shot.
04:53And yes, a bit of relief.
04:55This partnership was getting out of hand.
04:57The run rate had picked up to eight.
05:00Bennett for 49.
05:02101 for three.
05:04Ryan Boll with a best of 61.
05:06Average of 24.
05:10Oh, that is a smack and a half.
05:12That really is a great six.
05:20A big hit.
05:22He's a six hitter.
05:24Here's Ryan Boll.
05:25It's a good catch off the park.
05:28But those are six very welcome runs for Zimbabwe.
05:30Oh, dear.
05:37Absolutely dragged it on.
05:39He's a wily customer.
05:41As Asaranga took all the pace off.
05:44He was dismissed in a similar fashion.
05:47Against Pakistan.
05:48A baller.
05:49Balling it wide of the off stump.
05:50Not reading Oogly on that occasion.
05:55And once again, drag on to the stumps.
05:58We have seen here at Ravalpindi Cricket Stadium.
06:02A good cameo comes to an end.
06:0418 was the contribution.
06:06124 for four.
06:09In comes Tony Mnonga.
06:11Oh, dear.
06:14Didn't pick it at all.
06:16Gone first ball.
06:20Well, he's referred it.
06:22Challenged the umpire.
06:25Impact in line.
06:27Wickets umpire's call.
06:29Stay with your original CM.
06:31Stand by.
06:34You're on screen.
06:35Please signal.
06:35Upheld.
06:36It was wishful, wasn't it?
06:39That review.
06:40Zimbabwe in a spot of bother now.
06:42124 for five.
06:45Tashinga Musakiwa.
06:52In the gap.
06:54And struck fiercely.
06:57Away it goes for four.
06:59And Raza looking to go to work here.
07:04Banged away.
07:05Oh, what a shot.
07:08That's right out the screws.
07:10And it's out the park as well.
07:16Has he hit it?
07:17Has he hit it?
07:18No, he hasn't.
07:19That's a super catch.
07:22Absolutely brilliant that.
07:25From his opposite number,
07:27Dasan Shanaka.
07:29Critical the catch.
07:30He had to cover a lot of territory.
07:38Dasan Shanaka and reverse cup managed to hold on to the ball.
07:43Even though he fell.
07:47A brilliant effort from the captain.
07:50Now Sri Lanka, after conceding a big over, back in the game.
07:54Always a relief to see his back.
07:57Sikandar Raza's.
07:58He goes for 47.
07:59141 for six.
08:02Brad Evans in.
08:07Shouts of two.
08:08Oh, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry.
08:12Oh, dear.
08:14That doesn't look so good from here.
08:17I'll have a look upstairs.
08:19Yeah, bills are off.
08:28And that is short of the ground.
08:29I'm ready to make my decision for the big screen.
08:32Out.
08:33Easy decision for the third umpire.
08:35Throw on the bounce.
08:36Beats the batsman once again in this trination.
08:39He goes for four.
08:40It's 147 for seven.
08:42See, not ten.
08:46Oh, nicely done.
08:47It goes all the way for a six.
08:52And there's that young fella again.
08:54Easy as you like.
08:56Collects it.
08:59Borlem.
09:02That's a revenge for the debutant.
09:05Ishan Malenga picks up his second wicket.
09:09Beautiful delivery.
09:11Short one didn't work.
09:14Fuller one's much quicker.
09:15142.7 kilometers an hour.
09:19And it's through Musakiwa before his back can come down.
09:23Bit of tail as well.
09:25And some catharsis there.
09:29With the scream.
09:31He's gone for 11.
09:32It's 154 for eight.
09:33They'll run.
09:39Got to run.
09:40But no, they didn't.
09:41Decided to stay one.
09:44And that's the end of that.
09:47Zimbabwe having been asked to bat first by Dasan Shanaka who won the toss.
09:52Have got to 162 for eight in their 20 overs.
09:56Turned out to be a master stroke when Sikandar Raza promoted himself up the order.
10:02Contributed 47.
10:04And controlled the game in middle half.
10:07And then Bennett once again contributing 49.
10:10He was unlucky to miss out on a 50 once again in this tri-nation.
10:14For the bowling, good comeback.
10:19Yeah, you give conditions to Asaranga.
10:22He'll prevail.
10:24Yeah, you would say the happiest side would be Sri Lanka.
10:27But you never know.
10:28162 on the board.
10:30And therefore, 163 to get for the Lankans.
10:33Oh, movement, a wide one down the leg side.
10:42So Zimbabwe will be hoping that the ball will do something extra in the evening session here.
10:50Oh, almost.
10:51Yes, definitely.
10:53It's a first over wicket.
10:5617th time now that he's picked up a wicket in his first over.
10:59And it's a big one because this guy can absolutely bat.
11:06Yeah, again into the pitch short.
11:08And just beat him for a bit of bounce and inward movement.
11:12But it is that length that will cause problems.
11:16Height and bounce.
11:18Grava with the wicket.
11:20Nisanka doesn't score any.
11:21It's one for one.
11:24Gusal Pereira, 35 years old now.
11:27Ash.
11:30That goes through the slipcord and for four.
11:36Well, that's gone up in the air.
11:38This should be second for Zim.
11:41And it's taken.
11:43And Grava there is in business again.
11:46Gusal Pereira trying to pull this.
11:49Again into the pitch.
11:50A bit more extra bounce.
11:52The new ball with that C movement.
11:56In the end, just a timid top edge.
11:59It's taken nicely.
12:01Zimbabwe, the ideal start.
12:04Wicket in the first over.
12:06Wicket in the second.
12:08Barrera out for four.
12:09Sri Lanka, 6-2.
12:13Banuka Rajapaksa is in.
12:17Shot.
12:18Nicely played.
12:19Inside the line and helped away for four.
12:21Oh, dear.
12:28Absolute mix-up.
12:29The throw wasn't straight, but it didn't have to be.
12:33Taylor picks it up.
12:34And they've been gifted a wicket here, Zimbabwe.
12:37Without acknowledging that there was no response from Mendes.
12:44And in the end, he was the one who sacrificed.
12:49And Zimbabwe definitely controlling this game now.
12:54Gusal Mendes goes for six.
12:5625 for three.
12:58Darsan Shanaka has walked out to the middle.
13:03Ball him!
13:05Oh, dear!
13:06The pressure ramped up.
13:10And one has to say, Sikandar Raza has captained the side very well.
13:16He persisted with Moposa in the par play.
13:19And when the scoring rate was required of 11,
13:25he introduced his most accurate baller.
13:31Kamindo Mendes walks out to the middle.
13:36Oh, dear.
13:37Too short and wide and put away.
13:41And experimented there.
13:42Tried to flip her out the front.
13:47Ball aim.
13:48Beautifully done.
13:49It's that man again.
13:51100 wickets now for Sikandar.
13:52What a terrific performer he is.
13:56Not only for Zimbabwe, but world over.
13:59He's got this great ability to play the crunch moments brilliantly.
14:03He's always doing something for his team.
14:08His effort in the middle overs with the bat is what's given them this score to bowl at.
14:15Hard to get away.
14:17And he gets a wicket as well.
14:19Kamindo Mendes for nine.
14:20Sri Lanka further into trouble now.
14:2352 for five.
14:27Asuranga is the new player.
14:28New batsman.
14:32That's a massive six.
14:34That is absolutely powered over long off.
14:37Oh, yes.
14:43Finger has gone up.
14:44And that's the end of the Sri Lankan skipper.
14:46Quicker through the air.
14:47Hard length.
14:48And beautifully taken behind the stumps.
14:51I think that was a bottom edge.
14:52That's not easy to pick up.
14:53Dasun Shanaka is gone.
14:56This was quicker than the previous delivery.
14:58Well taken by Taylor.
15:05Standing so close.
15:06Wasn't a bottom edge, but picked it up nicely.
15:09Sri Lanka's captain gone.
15:11Only a bit of resistance.
15:1334 to him.
15:1475 for six.
15:18Dushmanta Chameera is a pacer.
15:22Or quickest of field is Apesh.
15:25Taken.
15:25Another one goes.
15:26It's Dushmanta Chameera.
15:28But Maposa takes it comfortably.
15:33Yeah, I mean, he gets the ball to bounce.
15:35He balls at a good pace and a very good catch in the end.
15:38Because you don't expect the ball to travel all the way to you
15:41when you're fielding in that third-man position.
15:46And very good grab in the end.
15:48Sliding.
15:49Took it when he was on his knees.
15:52So an early exit.
15:53A very early exit for Chameera for one.
15:5680 for seven.
15:58Diction eyes in.
16:03Chances his arm.
16:04Deep in record.
16:05In play.
16:06And taken.
16:06Another one.
16:07Another one.
16:11Hasaranga.
16:12Wanted to hit this out of the park.
16:15But bottom of the bat and neatly connected.
16:20Zimbabwe.
16:21Now just two wickets away.
16:23Hasaranga.
16:24Hasaranga.
16:25Gone for eight.
16:26It's 82 for eight.
16:28The short ball again.
16:32And another one.
16:33And another one.
16:35Kramer with the catch.
16:37Evans who's been impressive again tonight.
16:40And Zimbabwe close in.
16:42A lovely, lovely night out for the Zimbabwean bowlers.
16:48Up it goes into the air.
16:50Too quick for him.
16:51And absolutely no mistake for Graham Crema.
16:55Who pouches that easily.
16:57Ishan Malinga.
16:59Out for one.
17:01And Zimbabwe one wicket away from victory.
17:03Now at 89 for nine.
17:08And thrashes it away.
17:10Passed cover.
17:11And he's hit it well enough.
17:13And goes to the fence.
17:15Boundary after five overs.
17:17And that two for Tichana.
17:21And he bowls in the Yorker.
17:23Fittingly.
17:23It is Evans who hits the stumps.
17:26And Sri Lanka ball out for 95.
17:28Zimbabwe with a thumping victory.
17:31It has been a marked improvement on a couple of days.
17:37The bowling has been superb.
17:39They're batting adequate.
17:41But captain Sikandar Raza wanted Zimbabwe to cross the line.
17:46Wanted to get on that victory lap.
17:48And they've done it in some style.
17:50Now the initial fast bowling in the power play.
17:59Nisanka.
18:00Koshal Mendes.
18:01Koshal Pereira.
18:02Didn't get many.
18:03It was only Shanaka with 34.
18:06But was never going to be enough.
18:08Because of the quality that Zimbabwe produced with the ball.
18:12All out for 95.
18:14In just 20 overs.
18:16Yeah.
18:17Wonderful for the bowlers.
18:19A tough night out.
18:21Everybody with something.
18:23Two for Ngarava.
18:24Three for Evans.
18:25Two for 15.
18:26And three for nine.
18:27Those were the best of the lot.
18:29But everybody getting something out of the evening.
18:32And there will be Kaka Hoop for getting their victory here.
18:36And bowling Sri Lanka out for 95.
18:40162.
