SL vs ZIM 3rd T20I Preview
The stage is set for a thrilling finale to the three-match T20I series between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, with both teams vying for bragging rights and momentum heading into the upcoming ICC World Cup qualifiers. The series is currently tied 1-1, making the 18th January clash at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo a mouthwatering prospect.
The home team will be desperate to bounce back after a disappointing defeat in the second T20I. Their batting, particularly in the middle overs, faltered, failing to capitalize on a promising start provided by Pathum Nissanka. Kusal Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva will need to convert their starts into substantial scores, while the likes of Wanindu Hasaranga and Dasun Shanaka will have to provide the much-needed late flourish.
The bowling unit, spearheaded by the experienced Dushmantha Chameera and the wily Wanindu Hasaranga, has shown glimpses of brilliance but needs to be more consistent. Spinners like Maheesh Theekshana and Ramesh Mendis will also need to play their part in containing the Zimbabwean batsmen.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, will be brimming with confidence after their stunning victory in the previous game. Their batting unit, led by the in-form Regis Chakabva and the explosive Wesley Madhevere, looked in supreme touch, taking apart the Sri Lankan bowling attack. The experienced Sean Williams and the hard-hitting Milton Shumba will be looking to continue their fine form and provide late cameos.
The bowling unit, spearheaded by the wily Blessing Muzarabani and the accurate Victor Nyauchi, has been disciplined and economical. The spin duo of Tanaka Chivanga and Wessly Madhevere has also chipped in with crucial wickets.
