Twenty20 Internationals - Zimbabwe v Sri Lanka - Twenty20September 6
17.4Evans to M Theekshana80/10
Catch OUT. OUT! Caught. Brad Evans to Maheesh Theekshana. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off, caught by Butt. That brings us to the end of the first innings. The Zimbabwe bowlers have skittled through the Sri Lankan batting line-up and restricted them to a well below-par score. A couple batters got off to a start but could not stay and convert it into anything meaningful. Brad Evans and Sikandar Raza are the pick of the bowlers, picking up three wickets each for Zimbabwe, with Muzarabani also taking two. Let's see whether the home team can cruise through the chase or if the visitors will be able to work a miracle and defend this target.
