Overview
Zimbabwe almost pulled off a miraculous win in the third ODI of the Tri-Nation Series fighting back to draw with West Indies at Bulawayo on 19 November (Saturday).
Seamer Donald Tiripano was the star of the show for the hosts giving away just three runs in the last over and denying Jason Holder off the last ball to register what was only the 34th tied game in ODI history.
Choosing to bat, Zimbabwe put on 257 in their 50 overs, thanks to contributions from Craig Ervine and Sikandar Raza who scored 92 and 77 respectively. In the end, it was Tiripano who was the star of the show, eventually finishing with two for 26.
Sri Lanka come into the clash on the back of a loss to West Indies in the second ODI on 16 November and will be looking to get back to winning ways when they take on Zimbabwe.
Fielding a relatively inexperienced side, Sri Lanka's batsmen struggled in their last game depending on their lower order. In Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera and skipper Upul Tharanga they have batsmen who are capable of winning matches on their day.
With no injury worries at present, the islanders most probably will go in with the same team that played on Wednesday.
