In the last over, the Zimbabwean team gave 13 runs to the bowlers, if the Zimbabwean team had given less runs in the last over, it would have been a competitive match. Since only Sri Lanka team won by two wickets, Zimbabwe team must have performed very well in terms of bowling. Richard Ngarava of the Zimbabwe team, he collected 5 wickets, contributing the most to the bowling performance of the Zimbabwe team. Given only 32 runs in 10 overs, if all the other bowlers could have performed well, Zimbabwe would have won the second ODI match.
Zimbabwe was very close to win in yesterday ODI, they weren't able to put good runs on the board batting first. Craig Ervine scored 82 runs and there is no other batsman that was able to score 50. The result of yesterday game would be in favor of Zimbabwe if the have scored 230 runs. Janith Liyanage was man of the match in yesterday's game for his match winning 95 runs.
I hope Zimbabwe will bounce back in 3rd ODi match against Srilanka. Zimbabwe won this second odi also if they played complete 50 overs amd in add 20 to 30 more runs in the total. Zimbabwe played well Ryan Burl scored 30 runs in 37 balls and Joylord Gumbie also batting well but scored only 30 runs. But credit goes to Srilanka bowlers who bowled out Zimbabwe in just 208 runs especially Theekshana and Dushmantha Chameera who picked 2 wickets by giving 44 runs and Jeffrey Vandersay also picked 2 wickets. Let see what happened in 3rd Odi and Srilanka is favourite to win this Series.
