49.6
Madushanka to Munyonga, 1 run, Sri Lanka win by 7 runs. Length delivery and angling away from the right-hander outside off, Munyonga gets forward to loft, slices it, mid-off runs back and doesn't go for the catch, allows the ball to fall in front of him and it's just one, Sri Lanka have pulled this one off under dark skies and with the lights on
49.5
Madushanka to Munyonga, no run, that should be that. A low full-toss and angling away from the right-hander just outside off, Munyonga drives and misses, a dot and a legal delivery next will do it for Sri Lanka

Madushanka to Muzarabani, 1 run, full just outside off, Muzarabani drives hard and straight to long-on, Munyonga won't go for two
49.3
W
Madushanka to Ngarava, out Bowled!! Hat-trick for Madushanka. Was always on the cards with the way Ngarava plays. A crude slog to leg to a length delivery on off and middle, misses and the stumps are rearranged. This was tailing back in at pace too. Ngarava b Madushanka 0(1)
49.2
W
Madushanka to Brad Evans, out Caught by Asitha Fernando!! Two in two for Madushanka. Low full-toss just outside off, Brad Evans shuffles across to scoop and doesn't get a good connection on it. Asitha runs back from backward square-leg and takes a simple catch. Madushanka on a hat-trick and the task suddenly gets so much tougher for Zimbabwe. Brad Evans c Asitha Fernando b Madushanka 0(1)
49.1
W
Madushanka to Raza, out Bowled!! The middle-stump takes a beating and that should seal the game for Sri Lanka. Madushanka has not had a great day but delivers when it matters. The off-side had 3 in the ring, so Raza tried to go leg-side and misses a low full-toss, he shuffles across to scoop and misses. The middle-stump is down and so are Zimbabwe's hopes. Raza falls for a superb 92. Raza b Madushanka 92(87) [4s-8]
