Live Scorecard

Toss: Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to field

Matthew Schonken called it right, and elected to bowl first against Sri Lanka. Schonken added that his side had a variety of spin and pace options to look forward to.

Kohl Eksteen backed that call with a wicket in his very first over. Anesu Kamuriwo removed the other opener in the fourth over, to leave Sri Lanka in a precarious position.

A reconstruction was in order, and the fourth-wicket pair of Ravishan de Silva and Rusanad Gamage did the same. The duo added 54 runs over the next 21.1 overs, even as the young Chevrons bowled with discipline to ensure that advantage didn't swing the other way.

Panashe Taruvinga struck in the 26th over with the wicket of Gamage. He broke through the batters defences, and grounded his middle stump to bring Zimbabwe back at the helm. Ryan Simbi then accounted for Ravishan de Silva in the 31st over to further their advantage.

Dinura Kalupahana batted with initiative to add some crucial runs in the middle overs. He got good support from Sharujan Shanmuganathan, and Sri Lanka added 80 from 72 for the sixth wicket. However, Kalpuhana's fall to Schonken unravelled the Zimbabwe innings. The Asian side were bowled out for 204.
