Sri Lanka win the toss and will bat in the second and last warm up match for Zimbabwe. Can the bowling attack repeat the heroics of their last match?

Panyangara removes the dangerous Sangakara early for 8. Sri Lanka 12/1 after 3 overs.

7 extras in 13 overs. Thats way too much.

The boys really seem to be struggling to keep the run-rate down so far in these warm up matches,t20 cricket has really made the good batsman so much more aggressive these days it's very rare to see the good teams open the innings @ 3 an over ......

We opened our innings at 23-2 from the first 10 overs vs PAK and posted 246. Were looking for 270-ish till the tail collapsed. We were 183-2 in the 39th over. Asia Cup too we only took 40 off the first PP but ended up posting 326.

Guys like Mccullum and Warner are continuing the trend set by Sehwag, etc.

At least we took some wickets unlike our last matchup at the previous world cup where they thumped us...i think dilshan did the damage then

I was talking more about the top teams who actually hae a lot of players playing regularly in the top t20 comps in the world, you can't really count BD in that category as they only have Sakib and Tamin playin in IPL, CPL, BBL etc ......

This will be a good test to see how Zimbabwe's new look 'longer' batting order goes chasing down a decent total, since we're only going in with 3 front line bowlers we will hav to get used to chasing bigger totals ......

We need to keep wickets in hand and score between 4 1/2 - 5 an over up to the 40th and then hope the late order hitting from Chigs and Mire get the guys home .....

3 wickets for Williams.... and just 35 runs off his 10 overs
Any live stream for this match?

50 up for Taylor
