The best bowling batting performance in the Sri Lanka team was by Dilshan Madushanka bowled 10 took 4 wickets and conceded 62 runs.
Sri Lanka is a very strong team compared to Zimbabwe. So Sri Lanka is the favorite in this series. Even this match was more likely to be one-sided. But Zimbabwe performed well. Especially the performance of Zimbabwean batsmen surprised us. Sikandar Raza scored 92 runs. Also Williams, Ben Curran and Munyonga batted quite well. Sri Lanka is very lucky that Madushanka was able to bowl in a controlled manner in the last over. Madushanka gave only 2 runs in the last over and was able to take three wickets. Zimbabwe fought hard in the first match of the series. I hope the next matches will be as competitive.
Yes, the first match of their ODI series between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe was very aggressive, both the teams tried to perform well enough, and tried to win the match with all their might. Zimbabwe really performed much better than expected, they tried hard in the last stages of batting, but in the last stages they faced failure and lost the match by just 7 runs, this is a sad thing for them, but anyway, both the teams tried to play their best, and in the last stages Zimbabwe batted well enough and Sri Lanka bowled well enough, but Sri Lanka won the match in the end, best wishes to them for the next match.
