Sri Lanka playing with a new-looked team in the absence of several players due to injuries, fitness and Covid-19, fought back brilliantly to chase down Zimbabwe's 296/9 in 50 overs built on a superb century by seasoned Sean Williams (100) in the day-night encounter.Zimbabwe capitalised on a good start of 80 runs provided by Takudzwanashe Kaitano (42) and Regis Chakabva (72) and with Williams blasting 100 off 87 deliveries, posted a stiff target for Sri Lanka.

Nissanka then raised another 40 runs for the second wicket with Kamindu Mendis (17), Nissanka was out with the score of 147/3, caught by Chakabva off Sikandar Raza on a review.Chandimal and Charith Asalanka then raised 129 runs for the fourth wicket to virtually seal victory for the hosts. Chandimal was out with the score 276/4 with Sri Lanka needing 20-odd runs to win the match.Brief scores:Zimbabwe 296/9 in 5o overs (Regis Chakabva 72, Sean Williams 100, Takudzwanashe Kaitano 42; Chamika Karunaratne 3-69, Jeffrey Vandersay 2-44) lost to Sri Lanka 300/5 in 48.3 overs (Pathum Nissanka 75, Dinesh Chandimal 75, Charith Asalanka 71; Richard Ngarava 3-56) by 5 wickets.IANSIANS Pallekele For Latest Updates Please-
