Two sides struggling to find the W are up against each other. Sri Lanka did a decent job with the bat in the first game and looked favorites with two early wickets. Consistency though is a concern with Sri Lanka often looking good in parts but failing to sustain.

Dilshan Madushanka

Dilshan Madushanka continues to pick wickets up front. He didn’t get to bowl for long in the first game but made a huge impact on the game in the couple of overs he bowled and is definitely on the rise.

Sikandar Raza

Sikandar Raza, Zimbabwe’s 3-Dimensional star is still kicking well. He just went through the dissapointment of missing out on the T20 World Cup and will want to put things to rest with a good series in Sri Lanka.
