Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 71720, member: 636"] Led by captain Sikandar Raza and fast bowler Brad Evans, Zimbabwe secured a decisive 67-run victory against Sri Lanka in a Twenty20 match. After being sent in to bat, Zimbabwe posted 162 for 8, with significant contributions from Brian Bennett, who scored 49, and Raza, who added 47 runs. Sri Lanka’s response faltered from the start, collapsing to 95 all out. Evans spearheaded the bowling attack with figures of 3 for 9, while all six Zimbabwean bowlers claimed wickets. Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka acknowledged his team's lack of intent, as only two of their batsmen reached double figures. This defeat extends a difficult period for Sri Lanka in limited-overs cricket, following a recent one-day international series sweep by Pakistan. The Zimbabwean win was built on a spirited 61-run partnership between Bennett and Raza, who had also performed well in their team’s prior loss to Pakistan. [/QUOTE]
