5.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! An excellent review from Sri Lanka! Wanindu Hasaranga trusts his spin twin and gets the reward here. Maheesh Theekshana bowls the googly this time, short and on off, turns in a bit, Tinashe Kamunhukamwe stays back to cut it away but misses as the ball passes close to the outside edge. Theekshana looks very confident and convinces his skipper for the review. His confidence pays off as UltraEdge shows a big spike. Tinashe Kamunhukamwe walks back in disappointment as Zimbabwe lose their third inside the Powerplay. 51/3

0.2 OUT! BLINDER AT POINT! What a catch! What a start for Sri Lanka as well! Angelo Mathews serves this full again, on middle, nips away a bit, Craig Ervine looks to flick it away, but closes the face of the bat early and gets a leading edge as the ball flies wide of point. Sadeera Samarawickrama there flies to his right to take a stunning one-handed catch and uses his other hand to hold on to it in the end. Early blow for Zimbabwe as Ervine goes back for a golden duck! 1/1

3 OUT! TAKEN! Angelo Mathews strikes again! Brian Bennett tries to attack again, but loses his wicket this time around. This is on a good length and around off, Brian Bennett tries to lift it over mid on, but gets it from the bottom part of the bat as the ball flies towards mid on. Wanindu Hasaranga hops up and pouches it safely. An entertaining cameo from Bennett where he hit seven boundaries in the 12 balls that he faced, comes to an end. 35/2

10.3 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Dhananjaya de Silva gets a wicket in his first over! He bowls this one quicker, short and on off, Sean Williams stays back and tries to heave it away, but gets hurried onto his shot and closes the bat face early too, the ball takes the leading edge and loops towards the bowler where DDS makes no mistake. Willimas goes back now and Zimbabwe is staring down the barrel now! 73/6

| Sikandar Raza C | 10 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 83.33 |

8.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! A massive wicket for Sri Lanka as the player with the most man-of-the-match awards in T20Is for Zimbabwe goes back now. The hosts execute their game plan excellently here. They placed the third man much finer for Raza, Dilshan Madushanka bangs this one short and around off, Sikandar Raza could not stop himself from going for the upper-cut, but he has to hop up and fails to get the required power on his shot. As a result, the ball flies in the air straight to Maheesh Theekshana at third man who this time pouches it safely and makes up for his earlier error. Zimbabwe four down and in a spot of bother now! 64/4

9.4 OUT! TAKEN! Wanindu Hasaranga strikes now! This is another brilliant set up by the Lankans. Hasaranga brings a fielder at short mid-wicket just before this delivery. He bowls the googly, much slower through the air, on middle, turns in slightly, Tony Munyonga stays back to clip it away but fails to read it and ends up chipping it in front of short mid-wicket where Dhananjaya de Silva dives forward to take a fantastic catch. Half of Zimbabwe's side are back in the hut now! 71/5

| Clive Madande Wk | 5 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 50 |

14.1 OUT! TAKEN! Team hat-trick for Sri Lanka to finish things off here! Maheesh Theekshana floats this one up, full and on off, Clive Madande goes down across to slog it away, but loses his balance a bit and fails to get underneath the ball. As a result, he gets the elevation but not the distance as the ball goes miles up in the air towards long on, Dasun Shanaka runs forward, settles under it and takes a good catch. Zimbabwe have been bowled out for 82! 82/10

12 OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! Wanindu Hasaranga gets his second and Zimbabwe slips further down! This is tossed up, full and on middle, turns away a bit, Luke Jongwe gets down across and tries to slog-sweep it away, connects well but hits it in the air and straight towards deep square leg where Dilshan Madushanka runs forward and takes a fine catch diving forward in the end. Zimbabwe seven down with not even 80 on the board! 76/7

| Wellington Masakadza | 3 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 60 |

13.5 OUT! LBW! Wanindu Hasaranga gets his man this time! Or does he? Yes, he does. Wellington Masakadza takes a very late review here but that fails to save him. This is flatter, full and around middle, Wellington Masakadza goes down and looks to sweep it away, but misses it completely and gets hit on the pads right in front of the stumps. UltraEdge shows no bat involved and Ball Tracking indicates three reds. Zimbabwe lose their eighth and the review as well! 82/8

14 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Two in two for Wanindu Hasaranga! He dishes out the googly this time, short and on off, grips and turns away a bit, Richard Ngarava stays back in his crease to block but plays completely down the wrong line as the ball sneaks past the outside edge and rattles the stumps. Hasaranga will not be getting the hat-trick as he finishes his spell with four wickets. Zimbabwe nine down now! 82/9

7.4 OUT! BOLWED'EM! Sean Williams draws first blood with an absolute ripper! A dream dismissal for a left-arm orthodox. This is pushed through quicker, full and on middle, grips and turns away sharply, Kusal Mendis looks to play with the angle to the leg side, but plays completely down the wrong line and closes the bat face early too as the ball goes through and rattles the top of off pole. Kusal Mendis will be a bit disappointed as he would have liked to see his team through by staying till the end. 64/1
