Zimbabwe in a tri-series final! Stuff that dreams are made of. But the dream didn’t quite work out for them. Sri Lanka bowlers put a stranglehold on the Zimbabwe innings right from the start. By the end of 14th they were at 39/2 and their COW was under 40%. Taibu was the only one to fight back and he got little support from anyone except Lamb but it was too little. Zimbabwe were 199 all out in 49 overs with a COW of 30%. 200 was never going to be a stiff target but Sri Lankans just blew it away with a 160 run opening partnership as Dilshan notched up a century and Tharange scored 78. By the time they were separated in the 26th Over Sri Lanka’s COW was already 92% and they won the match by 9 wickets to claim the MicroMax Cup. |
