SL vs ZIM Match Preview
On Tuesday, Sri Lanka will play Zimbabwe in the second ODI of the series. The hosts, as predicted, won the first ODI by 5 wickets with 9 balls to spare to take a 1-0 lead in the series; nonetheless, they had to battle exceptionally hard to defeat Zimbabwe. Pathum Nissanka, Dinesh Chandimal, and Charith Asalanka all contributed useful half-centuries to their pursuit of the aim.
Zimbabwe, on the other side, must be encouraged by their performance in the first ODI. They gave it their all, but ended up on the losing end. The first ODI’s primary highlights were Sean Williams’ gutsy century and rookie Takudzwanashe Kaitano’s outstanding 42 runs. They must win this game in order to remain in this tournament.

It’s a decent batting wicket, but having said that, there will be more support for the spinners as well. The wicket tends to slow as the game marches and anything over 250 is a good competitive score here.
