Today T20I match between Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka is start of three game series. Sri Lanka is coming off 2-0 win in ODI series so they have much of confidence. But Zimbabwe has home advantage and return of some key players like Sean Williams and Brendan Taylor their team will need to bat well and get early wickets to win. Sri Lanka should rely on their strong top batters and their spin bowlers if they really want to control game. Given Sri Lanka recent wins and strong team they are clear favorites to win this first match but Zimbabwe will be fighting hard on their home ground.

There was a very close battle between these two teams in both matches of the ODI series but now that they are facing each other in this shorter format, so my idea Zimbabwe will have to dependent on performance today. You are right that Taylor is back actually this player is a very intelligent player. He has participated in many tournaments, so maybe the Zimbabwe team can rely on him today.

It is perhaps largely true that the Zimbabwe team relied most on these players earlier when they had Masakadza in their team and Taylor played regularly.
Even it is important that one of their fast bowlers got a chance in the Royal Challengers Bangalore team in the Indian Premier League, if that quality player can deliver a devastating performance against Sri Lanka today, then Zimbabwe will achieve a good result on their home soil today.
