Sri Lanka won the first match of the ODI series against Zimbabwe, although Sri Lanka won this match very fortunately. However, the Zimbabwe team had a lot of chances to win this match, but their luck may not have been on their side, they had to lose by 7 runs. Originally, there was a target of 298 runs in this match, where the team was under pressure after the opening batsman of the Zimbabwe team, Brian Bennett, was out early and he left the field for zero runs. Moreover, Brendan Taylor, who came later, could not bat well and he also left the field for zero runs. Due to the poor batting performance of these two opening batsmen, the Zimbabwe team had to lose today's match. If the two could have scored a few runs in the opening, then today's match against Sri Lanka could have left the field with a great victory for the Zimbabwe team, but unfortunately, the Sri Lanka team won.
