19.1
4
Muzarabani to Hemantha, FOUR, Sri Lanka win by 4 wickets. Full pitcher around off, Hemantha drills the drive through cover and seals the victory. It was never a good plan to have everyone up on the off-side
15.6
Muzarabani to Kamindu Mendis, byes, 2 runs, poor cricket from everyone. Juicy full toss by Muzarabani, it was outside off and Mendis went hard on the slash, missed it completely and Marumani also allows the ball to escape through his legs. Thankfully the fielder from third man gets around and dives to stop the boundary
15.5
Muzarabani to Shanaka, 1 run, full delivery at the stumps, Shanaka works it to long-on
15.4
Muzarabani to Shanaka, 2 runs, on a length and outside off, Shanaka dabs it behind square on the off-side and third man tidies up, risky second but they get it
15.3
W
Muzarabani to Fernando, out Caught by Raza!! That's better from Muzarabani. Sri Lanka are five down now and still need 50+. Slower ball bowled into the wicket, Fernando waits on the back foot and tries to force it over the off-side, gets it high on the bat and the ball balloons towards extra cover, Raza runs to his right and takes a good catch. Fernando c Raza b Muzarabani 7(9)
15.2
Muzarabani to Kamindu Mendis, 1 run, very full delivery outside off, Mendis digs it out in front of third man
15.1
6
Muzarabani to Kamindu Mendis, SIX, that should release some pressure. The asking rate has almost touched 12 and Sri Lanka need to be careful. This is fraction short and Mendis is quick to pounce, pulls it off the front foot and just manages to clear the deep mid-wicket fence. Zimbabwe need Muzarabani to step up..
5.6
Muzarabani to Kusal Mendis, 1 run, slower ball around the hips, Mendis nurdles it towards square leg and retains strike
5.5
Muzarabani to Nissanka, 1 run, slanted in from back of a length, Nissanka tucks it square on the leg-side and collects the single
5.4
Muzarabani to Kusal Mendis, 1 run, off-pace delivery and it stops a bit, Mendis checks his push and chips it towards cover-point. The ball was in the air for a while but well away from the fielders
5.3
4
Muzarabani to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, neatly done! Another back of a length delivery but Mendis shuffles across, gets inside the line and uses the pace of Muzarabani to lap it wide of short fine
5.2
Muzarabani to Kusal Mendis, no run, back of a length delivery, Mendis knocks it to the right of Muzarabani
5.1
Muzarabani to Nissanka, 1 run, angled into leg, Nissanka turns it to mid-wicket and crosses over
1.6
Muzarabani to Nissanka, 2 runs, good length ball around off, Nissanka lofts through the line sans timing and the ball clears the infield, couple more
1.5

Muzarabani to Nissanka, FOUR, fourth boundary in the over. Once again Muzarabani drops it short and offers room outside off, Nissanka goes hard and does not bother to keep the cut down, places it wide of backward point and the ball races away..
1.4
4
Muzarabani to Nissanka, FOUR, was that a drop? Marumani leaps to his right but he was nowhere close to the ball. This one rears up from back of a length, Nissanka fends it off the shoulder of the bat and the ball flies over the vacant first slip region. Muzarabani was unlucky there..
1.3
4
Muzarabani to Nissanka, FOUR, shouts of "catch it" but no one moved. Short and wide again, Nissanka cuts it uppishly but right between two fielders - backward point and cover-point, the duo could only watch the ball fly past them
1.2
Muzarabani to Kusal Mendis, 1 run, bit of extra lift for Muzarabani as well, Mendis wanted to guide it into the off-side and gets a thick outside edge to third man
1.1

Muzarabani to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, Muzarabani greeted with a boundary. Short and outside off, width on offer and Mendis gets on top of the bounce, rolls his wrists over and cuts it past a diving backward point
