SL vs ZIM: Sri Lanka will be standing against Zimbabwe in the 2nd One-Day International match of Zimbabwe tour of Sri Lanka on 18th January at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy.
Sri Lanka won the first ODI with flying colours, chasing down the target of 296 runs with 1.3 overs remaining. Zimbabwe’s openers had combined for 114 runs, and with the help of Sean Williams’ stunning century, they had successfully built a massive total for the Lankans.
However, Sri Lanka’s batting line-up did not panic, and with the support of a 75-run knock from both Pathum Nissanka and Dinesh Chandimal, followed by another significant 71-run innings from Charith Asalanka, they splendidly accomplished their goal and will now hope to replicate another similar performance in this game as well.
