Stunning hat trick in last over from Dilshan Madushanka change the match result and Sri Lanka fights back in style which give them win by 7 runs what a last over by 24 years old left-hander.

Sikandar Raza have good fight but sadly 50th overs first ball his middle stamp and match gone from Zimbabwean hands big setback for them after having impressive fight in last 20 overs Sri Lankan fights back and take lead in this series. Few good personal performances from youngsters specially Janith Liyanage and Kamindu Mendis 137 runs partnership make things possible for visitors after early collapse.

Sikandar Raja was an experienced and set batsman and Sri Lanka benefited greatly from his dismissal, which allowed them to defeat Zimbabwe by seven runs. In ODI cricket, 10 runs in the last over was not a difficult target, and losing three wickets in the first three balls meant completely upsetting a team, as Sri Lanka's Dilshan Madushanka demonstrated. Although Zimbabwe played comparatively better than Sri Lanka, they were defeated in the end by a hat-trick disaster.

This batsman had scored 92 runs with the hard work and good performance of his team and if he had not come under pressure, he could have won the match with 7 runs but after being dismissed, Sri Lanka had very difficult chances of winning the match. But he was pressured by the Sri Lankan bowler due to which he failed even though he could have won the match with hard work and struggle. It was played with poor performance from his side. If he had batted better and played better, I hope that this margin could have been met. This bowler showed complete honesty to take 4 wickets with his hard work and pressure and has also achieved success.
