Zimbabwe A v Sri Lanka A - Zimbabwe A Team Tri-Series - 6th Match – Sri Lanka crash on 81 runs – Live Score and Update
Sri Lanka A 81 (26 ov) - Zimbabwe A won the toss and chose to field
In the sixth match of the ongoing tri-nation series between hosts http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 A on a meagre tally of 81 runs, annihilating them in 26 overs in a match that is being played at Harare Sports Club.
Zimbabwean skipper, TMK Mawoyo, on winning the toss, chose to field first, as he wanted his bowlers to limit the opponents on a small total in order to create a favourable chance for them to win the match.
Sri Lanka came out with FDM Karunaratne and MDUS Jayasundera, and the duo played well for eight overs by jamming 25 runs, before the side suffered the loss of their first wicket on the demise of Jayasundera, who was removed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TL-Chatara-c2689, after hammering a knock of 15 runs.
A delivery later, the bowler struck again by dismissing MDK Perera, who failed to score a run.
This triggered a terrible collapse within the Sri Lankan batting line-up as on a tally of 29, the side lost its third wicket, when Karunaratne was caught by Ervine, off the bowling of E Chigumbura, as he walked back to the pavilion after scoring an innings of 11 runs off 23 deliveries.
This was the time when Zimbabwe tightened the screws around the Sri Lankan batsmen, and with 34 runs on the board, the fielding side nabbed their fourth wicket on the last delivery of the 11th over, when middle-order batsman, PBB Rajapaksa, perished on a tally of four.
From Zimbabwe, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/E-Chigumbura-c1411 was the star of the show as the bowler grabbed six wickets in his nine overs by conceding 24 runs.
He wreaked havoc on the batting side, preventing them from posting a stiff total on the board.
From Sri Lanka, SC Serasinghe was the highest scorer with 17 runs to his name, while the rest of the batsmen faltered without giving much of a fight.
