Sikandar Raza took two for 32. The Zimbabwean batters were bowled out for just 208 inside 45 overs. Craig Ervine the skipper top-scored with 82 while there were other medical contributions. 

Maheesh Theekshana took 4/31 with the ball. Chameera took Vandersay took two each as Dilshan Madushanka took one. A win for Sri Lanka will give them an ODI series win to kick off 2024. Meanwhile, a win for Zimbabwe will help them level the series. 

The way the Zimbabwean bowlers bounced back in the game, this match too can be a close game if they replicate their bowling performance. The batters, however, will have to pull up their socks and give their bowlers a substantial total to defend. 

Both teams play a three-match T20I series after the ODI series is over. The T20Is will also be played in Colombo. Sri Lanka’s T20I squad for the three-match series was announced with Wanindu Hasaranga to lead the side. Veteran all-rounder Angelo Mathews was recalled into the side for the first time since 2021.

Craig Ervine the ODI skipper will play as a specialist batter in T20Is for Zimbabwe. The African nation are yet to win in T20Is against Sri Lanka. 

Sri Lanka began 2024 with a home series against Zimbabwe in January. They will host the African nation for three ODIs and as many T20Is. It will be followed by a series against Afghanistan, consisting of one Test, three ODIs, and three T20Is. The Islanders will then head to Bangladesh for an all-format tour.

Both Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe had a lean 2023. The Islanders lost the Asia Cup final and had a forgetful 2023 World Cup winning just two matches in the tournament. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, failed to qualify for the T20 World Cup 2024 and lost to Uganda in the African regional qualifier.
