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.

Right, i don’t think they are able to come back in international cricket, the Zimbabwe team have not got a chance in any national level game for the last many years not only ICC T20 World cup 2024. How will they qualify in the world cup, first of all i think their cricket board is very poor, they can't trained properly so there are no enough good players in their team.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The first ODI between Srilanka and Zimbabwe would be played tomorrow. 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. 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.

Zimbabwe has been trying for a long time but with no positive results rather they are getting worse with time. If the player is not good then of course it is the responsibility of the board to adopt new players but that is not very effective. Because of which it has to be said that their country's cricket is almost dying. If this situation continues there will be a general loss of interest in cricket and the sustainability of their cricket may also be in jeopardy. What I have said before is that the cricket board and the government as well as the ICC should come forward and help. They identify where the main problem lies and take necessary measures to solve it.

Yesterday was the third ODI match between Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. Yesterday's match was set to be played in Colombo and everybody knew Colombo's weather so of course also in yesterday's match Colombo weather see their work.

The rain happened in yesterday's match which is why they managed the overs and turned ODI into a T20. They gave 27 overs to both teams but Zimbabwe was all out on 22 overs then the Sri Lankan team chased the target in 16 overs. By the way, the target was too low so they should chased it in under 13 overs, but they chased it in 16 overs.

Srilanka won this series easily with 2-0. It could have been easily 3-0 win but the first T20 match was not completed and was drawn. Now after two days we will see the T20 series between the two teams. I hope Zimbabwe will be able to perform better to that we may see some competitive matches between the two teams.

Performance from Zimbabwe was horrible. Even with all the interruption and all other things they definitely should have done better compared to what they have done in this match. They had only given a target of 97 to Sri Lanka. What did they expect would happen after that?

Of course, they got destroyed by Sri Lankan batsmen. They simply did not give a big enough target to the Sri Lankan team. The bowlers of Zimbabwe had nothing to defend. So the result was expected. Srilanka was able to win both of the matches that were played and had results.

Next is the t20 series between these two teams and I think Zimbabwe might have a better chance in the shortest format. Might actually get a win because the t20 format is pretty unpredictable at times.

I don't think this is hard luck now Zimbabwe is down and out of the game due to their performance and quality they fail to adopt changes which must for having better results in this game and their internal politics and poor system also not helpful for them to have anything positive their best era was 1999 while they have too many quality players but these all gone due to political instability, and now they are not able to compete with associate countries as well.

In African region, we have now Namibia and Uganda as new better teams with Zimbabwe and Kenya lost their chances but good thing happening, they are doing good and having good improvement in this continent with few more teams are coming and taking their chances, but soccer is still there no 1 sport.

Internal politics and corruptions completely kills the cricket in Zimbabwe and now most chances we will have no good future for them like we have for the West Indies but here one advantage is going with West Indies they are producing good individuals which are performing in leagues and have good income but in case of Zimbabwe this luxury is not available they need to work on domestic if they want to have something positive.
Zimbabwe were lucky rain allow them to end this ODI series with the result of 2–0 and now if rain will help them again then have chance for avoiding clean sweep otherwise Sri Lanka will be given them tough lesson even they are also going down in performance and quality.

Yeah.. one positive thing about West Indies is that they produce T20 specialists who are in high demand in various T20 leagues across the world. But nowadays even that is on the decline. Previously West Indian players such as Andre Russell, Kieron Pollard, Darren Bravo, Chris Gayle and Sunil Narine used to dominate the IPL. But now it is the Australians who dominate the IPL teams. There are a few promising younger players, like Nicholas Pooran, Sherfane Rutherford, Jason Holder and Carlos Brathwaite. But if you compare with the previous generation, the difference is quite obvious.

In second ODI Zimbabwe team gave a target of 209 runs and was well defended by there bowlers but Janith Liyanage 95 runs steal the victory from Zimbabwe. The main problem is with Zimbabwe batting, they are too much dependent on players like Sikander Raza. 3rd ODI was a total disaster for Zimbabwe batting lineup as they were restricted to 2 figure target by SL.

Anyway, the ODI series is over and the T20I series will start from Sunday onwards. I don't have much expectation from Zimbabwe. Once their ageing stars retire in 2-3 years from now, this team is going to disintegrate. Among the younger players, only Ryan Burl, Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava seems to be capable of playing international cricket. The quality of domestic cricket also seems to have gone down. Back in 1990s, Zimbabwe had a high quality domestic cricket structure, although they had only two first class sides.

Few big cricketing nations are on decline which is purely their own mistakes because they completely fail to bring required changes even ICC giving them good funds, but they are having nothing to do with this and too much political influence and other domestic issues are creating problems for them currently we have just 5 to 6 countries which are doing better with all others are on fall which is surely not good deal for this game with still time is available for the changes but if someone care about this all.

In this series, we have really pathetic performance from the Sri Lanka which is almost at the verge of collapse like West Indies even Afghanistan is ready to replace them but still we need improvement and better performance which will create good competition in this game in the future.

Well.. I would agree. Most of the teams that are in decline (such as Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, West Indies and Bangladesh) have cricket boards that are incompetent. The funds that they receive every year from the ICC are not being spent for the growth of cricket in these nations. On the other hand, Afghanistan is doing relatively well, and that is despite the Taliban takeover. Actually the tier-1 full member nations such as Bangladesh should learn something from the Afghanistan cricket board.

No doubt in few things we have to blame these boards but with this all we have no solution for this as well because ICC can't settle things which are creating problems and having missuses of funds as well which is also another problem but due to many factors we are having decline in quality and performance in few countries which is the biggest concern and ICC is also not able to have brought positive changes due to peoples those are involved they also don't care about this all.
But now it's time to bring more countries involved and also having competitions between associate countries which are trying to have improved quality and consistency, hopefully as we will have more countries and better things we will be able to have positive changes in this game.
