Match Notes
Sri Lanka won the toss in the beautify Dallas stadium and elected to bat first. The pitch already had few cracks but looked hard and would get better as days progressed. Karunaratne and Nissanka started off nicely for Sri Lanka as they put on 96 runs opening partnership, which once broken saw all hells get lose as Sri Lanka had a collapse and by losing 5 wickets for the next 87 runs. A fighting inning from Kushal Mendis who kept one end as wickets kept tumbling on other and a small contribution from de Silva saw Sri Lanka post 218 in the first inning. Blessing, Raza and Karvis were the pick of the bowlers.
Zimbabwe lost their first wicket for 27 runs as a solid watchful start came to an end as Innocent was caught by Mendis of Rajitha. Ervine and Kaitano scored 36 runs for the second wicket partnership as both departed in 3 deliveries. Balance and WIlliams tried rescuing but one wicket led to another as Zimbabwe struggled at 126 with 6 wickets down. Moor and Chakabva scored a brilliant 68 run partnership as they got Zimbabw really close but in the end as the trend of the match, Chakbva's wicket brought the remaining 4 wickets as the they scored only 1 run for the last 4 wickets. All bowlers except Kamindu Mendis got a wicket with Kasun Rajitha being the pick of the bowler with a 4 wicket haul.
Sri Lanka leading by 23 runs lost 3 quick wickets for 66 runs before Sri Lanka veteran Angelo Matthews and Kushal Mendis put on a 107 runs partnership in 228 deliveries. MAthews continued after Menidis's departure. However a crucial 52 run partnership between Chandimal and de Silva gave Sri Lanka lead of 300 runs. Blessing and Raza's brilliant bowling kept Sri Lanka to 285 runs with Zimbabwe chasing a daunting 309 runs to win.
Zimbabwe like their first inning had a decent start before Innocent departed with Zimbabwe on 21 runs. Constant partnerships and sensible batting from Kaitano, Ervine, Williams and Gary Ballance meant Zimbabwe were on course of chasing this historic total down. Sri Lanka however kept pickup wickets up with the crucial wicket of Muzarabani and breaking the Chakbva and Muzarbani partnership that was almost a match winning partnership.
Like the first inning once Muzarabani departed, Sri Lanka quickly grabbed the last two wickets with Zimbabwe losing by only 14 runs as they come so close to chasing this historic target down.
