Match Facts
This series was supposed to be an opportunity to showcase Zimbabwe cricket to the world. Is it in good health? Is the talent there? Is the desire there? The Twenty20 World Cup provided a few answers. Even though they didn't win a game in the tourney, they sparkled in the warm-ups by defeating Australia and Pakistan. This tri-series has hinted at more progress. They produced a clinical win against India in the first ODI in Bulawayo. They have to now to show they can sustain their recent performances. The game against Sri Lanka provides another opportunity.
Sri Lanka chose to rest some players and test a few others in this competition. In their first ODI, they might have fallen well short of setting an ideal target but considering the conditions they batted in - the track was two-paced and there was help for spin and seam in the first half due to overnight rains- it wasn't a poor effort. The ease with which India chased it down was slightly surprising, though. The pitch had certainly eased up but the bowling lacked bite. "To defend a score of 240-odd we had to bowl in the right areas and take half-chances," Dilshan said later. Neither happened. They would try to get their batting and bowling right against Zimbabwe.
That Zimbabwe rely on their four-prong spin attack is no secret. It's as if they are saying: 'We have four spinners who like strangling the batsmen and two of them - Ray Price and Prosper Utseya - have no problem in operating within Powerplays. We will try to get you with spin, tackle it if you can.' It's going to be interesting to see how Sri Lanka tackle that threat.
