India v Sri Lanka: Tri-Series 5th Match
Harare Sports Club, 5 June 2010



Here are the important details for Zimbabwe fans:
If Sri Lanka win, we're in the final.
If India win, but don't claim the bonus point, we're in the final.
If India win, and do claim the bonus point, they'll be level on points with us, bringing Net Run Rate into play and making the result of Zim v Sri Lanka on Monday of vital importance.

Depending on how results go, we could face either side in the final - or not appear in it at all. Fingers crossed...

This whole series is still in the balance, we need to keep playing well and be clinical in our manner of cricket !

[jamthala]

India is out of final,no finger crossed.

[sloandog]

India aren't doing all that well. They're 204-6 with 4 overs to go.
Good signs from a Zimbabwean point of view

[maehara]

They had been going quite well mid-innings, but it's all gone a bit downhill since then.

No complaints here..!

215 is what we Zimbabweans need SL to score. That will put us in finals

So when was the last time we featured in the final of a tri-series that didn't included an Associate side?

Must be Sharjah, same 3 sides, SL was beaten black and blue by both Zim and India, Ranatunga resigned and retired soon after. Zim even beat India once, but faltered in the finals
