In the second one-day match between Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe did not start very well after batting first, losing three wickets after only 48 runs, and the Zimbabwean team is under a lot of pressure. Play is suspended due to rain If the field is fit for play after the rain ends then today's match will be abandoned if the field is not played. But even in the second one-day match we did not see a good batting in Zimbabwe because if they could have given a better target in that match then maybe they would have won the second one-day match. Because Zimbabwe bowled better than batting in the second ODI match, Sri Lanka batsmen had to struggle for victory due to their excellent bowling. So if Zimbabwe want to win against Sri Lanka then they have to bat well otherwise they will lose today like the second match.
Zimbabwe's batsmen are in dire straits now. Due to rain, the match will now be played in 27 overs. Zimbabwe need to score at least 150+ target if they want to win. But the performance of Zimbabwe's batsmen today is very bad like in the previous matches. They lost 7 batsmen to collect only 67 runs. There is no experienced batsman at the crease now. It doesn't seem that Zimbabwe will be able to collect even 100 runs today. It is not possible to win against Sri Lanka on such a low target even though the performance of Sri Lankan batsmen is erratic. A target of more than 150 would have given Zimbabwe a slim chance of victory. But they will not be able to collect even 100 runs today.
Yes, you are right, in this last match of this ODI series, the Zimbabwe team surrendered to the bowlers of the Sri Lankan team by collecting 96 runs for all wickets. In the entire game of this match, I saw that the Zimbabwean team turned this match into a disappointing one. The batsmen of the Zimbabwe team have batted so badly that it is a disgrace to the players of the Zimbabwe team. If the batsmen of the Zimbabwe team tried to bat in a strong way. Then this last match could have been a bit interesting. Or perhaps the match would have been enjoyable if the Zimbabwean team had bowled first instead of batting first. In this series, it is clear that the performance of the Zimbabwean team players is gradually going down.
On the other hand, the players of the Pakistan team played brilliantly. In this match Pakistan team players were able to control themselves from the beginning of the game till the end. And Sri Lanka won by 8 wickets against Zimbabwe. The ODI series, winning the series with a three-match win streak, is a great joy for the fans of the Sri Lankan team. But one thing must be said, this low score match in ODIs can never capture the mind of cricket fans.
