Is the pitch really that bad?
Or are we bowling too well?

Really poor last 10 overs for us today but 204 is chasable especially with our deep batting order .....

Might not be the monster pitch we feared it to be especially with that partnership at the end.

Target is set at 204 now wondering which Zim team will show up on this t5ricky pitch. Anyone's game but it would be nice to get a series win.

Really think Hami and Mire are the key here, we need a really good start especially in the first 10 overs when the field is up and the ball is hard. Funnily enough Sri Lanka are more reliant on fast bowling than us, they've picked 3 seamers so we need to attack them ......

Kulasekera will be key here probably more so than malinga. He really does swing that ball

The 2 openers are key for me.. they should just play their natural game.
