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.
I would like to see Zimbabwe win at least one match in the three-match T20 series. T20 matches are only 20 overs long, which is considered a short format. In this short format, there is no big or small team, anything can happen and any result can be achieved. So, with the home field advantage, Zimbabwe should win at least one match against Sri Lanka. I will not talk about winning the series, because it will not be easy to win a match against a strong team like Sri Lanka for a long time. But winning one match will not be difficult, Zimbabwe can fight for at least one win and the first match is the best opportunity for that. If they can surprise Sri Lanka with the home field advantage, then the victory will be a little easier for them.
