SL vs ZIM 3rd ODI Preview
The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo will be the stage for a tantalizing final act on Thursday, January 11th, 2024, as Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe clash in the 3rd and final ODI of the series. With Sri Lanka already securing a commanding 1-0 lead after a nail-biting victory in the second match, Zimbabwe will be desperate to salvage some pride and end the series on a high note.
Recap of the Thrilling Second ODI:
The second match was a heart-stopper, going down to the wire with Sri Lanka eventually emerging victorious by a mere two runs. Chasing Zimbabwe’s total of 252, the hosts looked down and out at 161-8. However, a stunning ninth-wicket partnership between Wanindu Hasaranga (18*) and Dhananjaya de Silva (19*) saw them cross the finish line with six balls remaining. Richard Ngarava’s phenomenal five-wicket haul for Zimbabwe wasn’t enough to secure the win, despite a valiant batting effort from Wesley Madhevere (95).
Head-to-Head in ODIs:
The history books paint a stark picture for Zimbabwe. In 63 ODI encounters, Sri Lanka boasts a dominant 48-13 win-loss record against their opponents. While Zimbabwe has displayed flashes of brilliance on occasion, consistently overcoming the Sri Lankan juggernaut has proven a daunting task.
Key Points to Watch:
- Can Zimbabwe overcome their mental hurdle?: The close defeat in the second ODI will undoubtedly weigh heavily on Zimbabwe’s mind. Can they overcome their past struggles and put together a complete performance?
- Sri Lanka’s batting woes: While the hosts won the previous match, their batting performance left much to be desired. Openers Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis need to fire if Sri Lanka wants to bat with confidence.
- Who wins the toss?: The R. Premadasa pitch is known for its balanced nature, favoring both batsmen and bowlers. Winning the toss could give the captain the option to exploit the pitch conditions to their team’s advantage.
