The third and final T20I clash between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe will be held on Thursday. Unlike the ODI series, the three-match T20I series has been more thrilling, with Sri Lanka winning the first match in the last over, while Zimbabwe secured victory in the second game. With the scoreline at 1-1 after two matches, the third and final game promises to be exciting and a must-watch.
In the second game, Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to field. Put into bat, the host nation did not fare well and tottered at four for 27 runs. However, the experienced pair of Asalanka and Mathews put up a partnership of 118 runs, notching up individual fifties and taking the team to 173 runs.
Zimbabwe had a good chase but lost the first wicket for a score of 22. Craig Ervine played a match-defining knock, smashing 70 runs and partnering with Brian Bennett for the second wicket. Despite losing a few wickets in the middle overs, the experienced lower-middle order helped them secure a victory by four wickets.
Head-to-Head: These two teams have played five games and the win in the 2nd T20I was the first for Zimbabwe, while Sri Lanka has won four matches.
