[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v Sri Lanka (Tri Series 3rd Match)

[sloandog]

12.45pm Right. Mike Haysman confirms that it is going to be a 27-over game, starting in the next 15 minutes. The sun is out and the clouds have receded, so things looks good for some action. Powerplays are reduced to 6, 3 and 2 overs each. Two bowlers can bowl six, while three others can bowl five each, so this is a bit like an extended Twenty20 game. Zimbabwe will fancy their chances.
Sri Lanka have won the toss and elected to field. Angelo Mathews, who picked an injury, and Thilan Samaraweera are not playing today. Jeevan Mendis and Dinesh Chandimal come in, while Zimbabwe are unchanged. Chigumbura comments that one area his side is worried about is the extras - they were horrendous against India and need to address that, more so in an overs-reduced game.
