The performance of zimbabwe team still on discussion but i think this is very common in Cricket history. Anything is possible in the field. Even A small team also defeated a big team so many times. moreover i haven't discussed about zimbabwe so long expect the previous ODI series between Zimbabwe Vs Sri Lanka. Rain anyhow saved Zimbabwe from losing their 1st Odi but in 2nd Odi, Zimbabwe had done decent scored and efforted to win but lost. Only 3rd odi, it played incredibly poor. Hope they'll learn from this match and do well in upcoming Matches with Sri Lanka.
Zimbabwe isn't new in field but that's no improvement in their performance for long. And yeah, they were too weak to fight against SL team but Zimbabwe lost, i doesn't mean SL is very strong. Actually Zimbabwe is very weak in my view. Cause team like Uganda beaten them and eliminated Zimbabwe from T20 world cup. What else do you think? Craig Ervine was the one , who scored in 2nd ODI, otherwise Zimbabwe wouldn't Crossed 200 run in 2nd ODi. Even in 1st ODI, they already lost 2 wickets within 12 runs when the target was 273 which is huge run by SL. They need proper guidelines to follow for get out of such poor performance and strong themselves for upcoming games.
Zimbabwe recently failed to qualify for the 2024 T20I World Cup, after finishing at the 3rd place behind Namibia and Uganda in the African qualifiers. They also failed to qualify for the 2023 ODI World Cup, despite the fact that the tournament was hosted by Zimbabwe. Given this, I am not sure about the path ahead for them. Zimbabwe Cricket is supposed to receive $17.64 million this year from the ICC. Other promising member nations such as Nepal and Indonesia will be receiving less than 1/50th of the amount that ZC receives. This is not fair for the smaller teams.
Zimbabwean team is too weak in fighting against the Sri Lankan team. Sri Lanka's team is much stronger as compared to Zimbabwe and secondly, their coaches did not prepare them well

Yesterday, almost all the warmup matches in the U19 World Cup got washed out. Both India and Pakistan performed poorly in these matches. India Under-19s got bowled out for just 171 against Australia, with just Uday Saharan making any significant contribution with the bat. Australian pacers Charlie Anderson and Callum Vidler made life difficult for the Indian batsmen. However when rain interruption came, Australia was also in a spot of bother. They were 53/4, after Saumy Pandey and Dhanush Gowda picked up crucial wickets.
Really, both India sqaud U19 and Pakistan U19 sqaud performance in these warm up matches was not too good as we expected. But Australia U19 sqaud performance was also very bad in against India U19 squad match. India U19 sqaud collected 171 scores after playing 40 overs all batters of their sqaud cleared out and against sqaud Australia U19 sqaud also collected low quality scores when they played 16 overs out of 50 overs and collected 54 scores with lost of 4 batters and I see there was difficult job for Australia U19 sqaud to get victory in this match. I feel that all squads of ICC Under-19 World Cup Warm-up Matches competition are not taking these matches seriously and also they are not displayed actual performance in overall innings in these matches. Ireland U19 squad against Zimbabwe U19 squad match is ongoing on crease and Ireland U19 sqaud has started this match begin batting inning and almost they finished their batting inning only few deliveries remained. Currently, Ireland U19 sqaud collected good scores as compare to other squads like India, Pakistan Australia etc

Zimbabwe team is weak in batting and bowling. The Zimbabwean team has already come into this new season and they are not performing well with the Sri Lankan team. This match was repeatedly stopped due to rain, due to which the Zimbabwean team did not perform well not only for this match. The few T20I and ODI match performances with Sri Lanka in the past have been poor in almost all matches. As Zimbabwe lost all wickets at 97 runs, they could not rely on any player to hold the wickets patiently.
I agree with you that the Zimbabwe team is having a hard time with batting and bowling. The recent match against Sri Lanka showed that they are very weak in batting and bowling. The fact is that Zimbabwe lost all their wickets at only 97 runs shows that their batting lineup lacks stability and patience. It's really important for the team to fix these weaknesses and build a stronger and tougher squad so they can do better in future matches. They can be good in both if they practice more.The Zimbabwean team faced frequent rain interruptions, due to which the match was decided at the last moment in 27 overs despite repeated postponements. But the Zimbabwean team was completely unable to play again due to which they lost all the wickets in the last minute to score only 97 runs. But in terms of bowling and batting, Zimbabwe team is with poor performance. Since Sri Lankan team has given a more important batting performance here Sri Lankan team has been able to win.

Pakistan Under-19s vs South Africa Under-19s (Warm up matches)
Today first Warm up match was finished with no result in ICC Under-19 World Cup Warm-up Matches competition and these match was just a practice match and not a single batter of these squads in this competition could be play seriously. Pakistan U19 against South Africa U19 squad match, Pakistan U19 batting inning performance was not good firstly and their sqaud collected only 211 scores after playing 41 overs by losing 8 wickets. Ahmed Hussain batter scored highest scores in overall match and total 36 scores off 38 deliveries. Both starter batters of Pakistan U19 squad was cleared out for m0 score. I know this was just a warm up matches South Africa U19 squad easily emerged victory in this match if this match continues at end.

Looking the overall status of Pakistan Team in this series is not looking good as they are not even focusing on their own mistakes that they have already made previously like they are always being so weak at their batting side and still they are not focusing on their batting attach even though they have a good bowling coach and batting coach also.
On the other side the South African Under 19 team working hard on their bowling attack and thus they have proved that in many matches previous that they can still give defeat to many top class batters as well. This cricket is all about the passion a team wants to build with some good momentum to create.

In the Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe ODI match, Zimbabwe's bowling did better than their batting. If Zimbabwe could have batted well they might have won the second ODI against Sri Lanka but unfortunately Sri Lanka struggled to win despite being given a target of 209 runs. Sri Lanka is not performing very well against Zimbabwe. That's because we don't see Sri Lanka's strong performance on the field against Zimbabwe. If Zimbabwe had batted well, if they had not had problems with batting, their matches against Sri Lanka might have been tight. However, before the game against Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe should be able to bat well and not lose wickets too quickly, then they will do well.
I agree that Zimbabwe bowling was better than their batting in the Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe ODI match. Sri Lanka had a hard time chasing a target of 209 runs, which shows that Zimbabwe bowling was good. But if took a look on Sri Lankan team. So we will see that Wanindu Hasaranga was also good in bowling he is only the one man Army who collected 7 wickets for 19 runs. He is the player of the match. Excellent bowling by him. I really appreciate his performance.Well, that was the second ODI. The third ODI is also over. And the final match was not anything close to the second one. Zimbabwe did not have any chance in that match against Sri Lanka. Of course, the whole match was not played because of the DLS method. But Zimbabwe gave a target of 97 in a 27 over match. That is just not good enough to defend against a team like Sri Lanka. So Sri Lanka was able to chase down the target very easily. Sri Lanka also wins the series with this one. I definitely expected a better performance from Zimbabwe in the last match after the performance that they had shown in the second ODI.

Zimbabwe batsman could not worked hard and struggle and not make runs.A target of 98 is not a big target. Their batsmen did not show interest and struggle. And did not give a difficult target.Sri Lanka bowler bowling very well and get the all wicket and get the easy target.Yes you are right. Even if the Sri Lankan batsmen don't work and struggle they can score 98 runs in 50 overs.This is a great achievement for the Sri Lankan bowler as he worked hard and struggled to bowl all the Zimbabwe batsmen.if Zimbabwe batsman make 200 run they won the match.Then how well could the Zimbabwe bowlers control the Sri Lankan batsmen. But they did not work hard and struggle and destiny did not support them either. My congratulations to the Sri Lankan team and may they continue to play like this and win matches.
Zimbabwe chances of getting back into main stream cricket are dying with every game they play. In 3rd ODI they were bowled out for just 97 runs and target was chased comfortably by SL in 17th over for loss of just 2 wickets. Zimbabwe recently failed to qualify for T20I world cup and there recent performance is proof of why they are not able to make it to mega events. They are dependent on few players, if they perform they win else they collapse.

Don't want to take anything away from Wanindu Hasaranga. He bowled really well. But at the same time, the question is whether Sri Lankan spinners can repeat this performance while playing under SENA conditions, against top teams. Playing against Zimbabwe at home under helpful conditions is one thing, and facing someone like Australia in seam-friendly conditions is another. And now coming to Zimbabwe, apart from Muzarabani they don't have any quality bowlers. If the Lankan batsmen struggled against them, then the future outlook for Sri Lanka looks quite bad.

As Srilanka is playing in their home ground they are favourite to win the series. Zimbabwe is not a good team but considering Srilankan batting they can give them serious challenge. The betting odds for tomorrow's match favour Srilanka by a good amount. It is a best of three bilateral series so if Srilanka wins 2 games they will win the series.

op You are right the way Zimbabwe team is performing against Sri Lanka if they perform like this then their cricket team will not improve much in future. That's because Zimbabwe bowled fairly well in the second one-day match, their batting was poor, if they could have given the target of 230 runs in the second one-day match, they would have easily won the second one-day match. In the third ODI match, Zimbabwe's batting failure again resulted in the Zimbabwean team being bowled out for just 97 runs. The way the Zimbabwean team is performing against Sri Lanka, they need to focus on their batting otherwise they will not improve much in their cricket team in the future.
The performance we are seeing from Zimbabwe team is already saying that Zimbabwe is a outform team. Presently their team condition is very deplorable and that's why they didn't get a place even in the last world cup where a team like Netherlands got a place. Although the format may be different, the Zimbabwean team is currently playing poorly in all formats. I don't think we will see any difference in their upcoming T20 series maybe we will say that Zimbabwe got White wash white Sri lankan team. Zimbabwe team is weak in batting and bowling. The Zimbabwean team has already come into this new season and they are not performing well with the Sri Lankan team.
