PREVIEW
Sri Lanka will look to wrap up the three-match series against Zimbabwe when the two sides meet in the second T20I at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday.
The visitor won the series opener by four wickets, chasing down a 176-run target in 19.1 overs. Openers Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis laid a solid platform with a 96-run stand, but a middle-order collapse saw Sri Lanka lose five wickets for just 29 runs. Kamindu Mendis came to the rescue with a blistering 16-ball unbeaten 41 and guided Sri Lanka home.
For Zimbabwe, opener Brian Bennett top-scored with 81 off 57 balls and Richard Ngavara was penetrating, finishing with figures of 2/19 in his four overs.
A series win for Sri Lanka will be a shot in the arm ahead of the Asia Cup, which begins on Monday, while Zimbabwe will want to avoid another series defeat, having already lost the ODI leg 0-2.
