Preview
Sri Lanka will be up against Zimbabwe in the 3rd T20I of the Zimbabwe tour of Sri Lanka 2024 at the R Premdasa Stadium in Colombo on January 18. The series is poised evenly between the two teams, and the upcoming game will be the series decider. Hence, the winner of the match will take the trophy home.
The last match between the two teams, which was the second game of the series was played at the same venue where Zimbabwe had won the toss and elected to field. Being put to bat, Sri Lanka did not fare well as they were tottering at four for 27 runs. Their entire top-order was dismissed in scores of single digits, and the team looked in trouble. That is when the experienced pair of Asalanka and Mathews came into play as they put up a partnership worth 118 runs and notched up their individual fifties. This took the team to a good total of 173 runs.
Zimbabwe had a good chase ahead of them and probably a daunting task to beat Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka with a good bowling line-up. They started decently but lost the first wicket for a score of 22. Craig Ervine played a match-defining knock as he smashed 70 runs partnering up with Brian Bennett for the second wicket. Though they lost a little too many wickets in the middle overs and looked in some trouble, the experienced lower middle order of the team saved the day for them. They won the game by four wickets on the penultimate ball of the match.

Player Picks
Sikandar Raza ZIM | ALL
Raza has been leading his side from the front with his match-winning knocks. He has amassed 70 runs and three wickets so far, making him an apt choice for leadership roles in your team as well.
Angelo Mathews SL | ALL
Mathews, with his return to International Cricket, has been brilliant. He is the top scorer of the series so far with 112 runs to his name where he had remained not-out once.
Maheesh Theekshana SL | BOWL
Theekshana bowls with tight line and length, forcing wickets out of his opposition. He has scalped away four wickets so far and can be the leader you are looking for in your fantasy team.
Charith Asalanka SL | BAT
Asalanka has smashed 85 runs at a strike rate of 139.34 in two matches of the series so far. He is surely a must-have pick for your fantasy side.
Blessing Muzarabani ZIM | BOWL
Muzarbani has been bowling his heart out, helping his team win crucial moments. He has picked up four wickets with an economy of 8.63 in both these games.
Wanindu Hasaranga SL | ALL
Hasaranga was phenomenal in the recently concluded ODI series where he played just one match and took seven wickets. He has taken three wickets in this series as well and would be looking ahead to add further to the tally.
Craig Ervine ZIM | BAT
Ervine has been the highest run-scorer for Zimbabwe as he played a match-winning knock in the last game. He has raked up 70 runs at a strike rate of 114.29 in two matches.
Luke Jongwe ZIM | BOWL
Jongwe won the match for his team as he played a quick-fire innings and finished the game for his team. He has amassed 38 runs and two wickets so far in the series.
Dushmantha Chameera SL | BOWL
Chameera has bowled well to scalp away three wickets with an economy of 8.50 in the two matches of the series. He could be a good budget pick for the team.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Pathum Nissanka
SL | BAT
Nissanka has looked really off-color in this series so far. He can be left out alone from your fantasy team.
Clive Madande
ZIM | WK
Madande has only been able to contribute 15 runs so far to the team. He too should not find a place in your fantasy side.
