Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI
Sri Lanka toured Zimbabwe to play two ODIs and three T20Is. Today will be the first match of the ODI series. We know that Sri Lanka is a relatively stronger team than Zimbabwe, so Sri Lanka will be ahead in this series. Now if I have to predict today's match then I will put Sri Lanka ahead. Because Sri Lanka has won 4 matches in the last 5 head-to-head matches and 1 match has been cancelled. But the Zimbabwean team will play at home, so they will get a bit more support. However, Sri Lanka is more likely to win based on performance. Now let's see how well Zimbabwean players can do.
Today, Nishan Madushka could not perform well as the opening batsman of the Sri Lankan team. As a result, he scored zero runs in 13 balls, the fall of the wickets of the Sri Lankan team in the power play put pressure on the batting later. Meanwhile, the Zimbabwean team has definitely put some pressure on the Sri Lankan team in terms of bowling performance, because the Sri Lankan team has scored 42 runs by losing one wicket in just 12 overs.
If the Sri Lankan team can survive and play for a long time, then of course the possibility of scoring 200 plus runs in the end will be much higher, but the possibility of the Sri Lankan team winning in today's match is much higher than the Zimbabwean team. The Sri Lankan team is much stronger than the Zimbabwean team.
