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.

It's part of the game of losing and winning, it's going to happen. But I was surprised that Zimbabwe had such a great match against a strong team like Sri Lanka. Of course Zimbabwe played well according to their position and gave Sri Lanka a tough time. The best thing for me is that they fought hard till the end. I won't comment on their loss, but I will look at their fight. Especially the great innings of Ben Curran, Sikandar Raja and Sean Williams gave Zimbabwe a dream of winning. It's okay if they lost the match, there is still a chance. There is one more ODI match and another chance to beat Sri Lanka.

Zimbabwe team performed very well from the beginning to the end, but in a moment, Sikandar Raja got out in the first ball of the last over. And Zimbabwe team faced more pressure and after a long hard work, Zimbabwe team was forced to lose. But of course I blame Zimbabwe team's batting here, since Zimbabwe team was very close to winning, they should not have been aggressive in the last moment.
They should have been more calm, if Sikandar Raja could have stood at the crease, then Zimbabwe team could have won.
