Raza Shines As Zimbabwe Skittle Sri Lanka For Second-lowest T20I Total
Harare Sports Club: Sri Lanka endured a night to forget in Harare, crashing to their second-lowest T20I total as Zimbabwe clinched a comprehensive win in the second match of the T20I series. Bowled out for just 80 inside 17.4 overs, Sri Lanka never managed to recover from an early collapse triggered by Blessing Muzarabani and Brad Evans, before Sikandar Raza stamped his authority with a spell that sealed the visitors’ fate.
Put in to bat, Sri Lanka’s struggles began in the Power-play itself. Muzarabani, back in rhythm after a tough outing in the previous game, struck twice to remove Kusal Mendis and Nuwanidu Fernando while keeping the scoring in check.
Evans joined the act from the other end, dismissing Pathum Nissanka with a smart short ball and then shattering Kamil Mishara’s stumps with a searing yorker. By the end of six overs, Sri Lanka had crumbled to 37 for 4, a position from which few teams recover in T20 cricket.
