Richard Ngarava starts with a shorter delivery, outside off, cut to deep point for a single.

Well bowled! A bumper into the surface and it rolls over Nissanka's head, who tries to pull but misses.

OUT! TAKEN! Top, top catch from Wessly Madhevere and Nissanka has to go. Zimbabwe have an opening at a crucial time. Pathum Nissanka was playing the short ball really well, Richard Ngarava spills one out while rolling his fingers over it. Nissanka pulls but fails to power. Wessly Madhevere at deep mid-wicket runs back while keeping his eyes on the ball and takes a tumbling catch.

It will be hard for a new batter to settle in! Shapes across a length ball, outside off, Janith Liyanage looks to cut but misses.

Finds the fielder! Gives width outside off. Janith Liyanage cuts it really hard but finds Ben Curran at point.

Touch fuller and around off, Janith Liyanage punches it through covers for a couple of runs. No boundaries by Sri Lanka since hitting hat-trick of boundaries early on.

Angled in on the off stump, on a length, Charith Asalanka steers it with an open bat face to the left of backward point. The fielder slides but the ball gets past him, allowing the second run.

And again! The length is pulled back a bit, on the off stump, Charith guides it to the right of deep point for another brace.

Low full toss, on middle, Charith Asalanka just picks the gap and does not try to overhit this one. Knocks it to the right of long off for the third double in a row.

Would you believe it? Another two. Slower and on the shorter side, outside off, Charith Asalanka waits back and cuts it to the right of Ben Curran at deep point for two more.

Nails the yorker, on the off stump, Charith Asalanka jams it out in front of backward point for one. 9 runs off the over so far.

10 runs off the over without much of a fuss! Full and on middle, Janith Liyanage drills it down to long on for a single. Sri Lanka need 30 runs in 24 balls.

On a back of a length, over middle, Janith Liyanage jabs it through mid-wicket for a single.

Asalanka gives an early charge and Richard Ngarava responds by firing in the yorker, at the toes, Charith squeezes it out an inside edge towards deep square leg for one.

On a back of a length, over middle, Janith Liyanage pulls it to deep square leg for a run.

Two wides! Full and angled down leg, Charith Asalanka looks to tickle it fine but misses. The keeper fails to gather it cleanly and concedes a run as the ball rolls off the gloves to his right.

Drags the length back, outside off, Janith Liyanage flashes hard but fails to connect.

Off-pace delivery, into the surface, over middle, Janith shovels it to the left of deep square leg for a couple of runs.

Very full at pace, on the off stump, Janith Liyanage clears his front leg and launches it back over the bowler's head. Does not quite get hold of it and it is cut off by the long off fielder to his right. Sri Lanka need 22 runs in 18 balls.

Fuller and on the off stump, whipped to long on for a single.

A well-disguised slower one from around the wicket, on a short of a length, outside off, Charith Asalanka has a swipe across the line but swings early and he fails to connect.

Nails the yorker, on off, Charith digs it out in front of extra cover for a run.

FOUR! A boundary after a long time for Sri Lanka! Angled in at the toes, Janith Liyanage clears the front leg, takes it on the full and smears it behind square on the leg side. Ben Curran sprints to his right from deep square leg and dives but in vain.

Swing and a miss! Blessing Muzarabani takes pace off and goes into the surface, outside off, Janith Liyanage hops to flay it away on the off side. The ball bounces over the blade.

FOUR! Powered away! Blessing keeps it short and does not offer any pace, outside off, Janith Liyanage backs away and slaps it aerially. Hits it wide enough of the man at deep point to his right for a boundary. Run-a-ball needed for Sri Lanka. 12 from 12.

Starts well, does Ngarava! Gets the yorker in, tailing in at the toes, Charith Asalanka gets his bat down but the ball sneaks past the bat and goes through his legs.

Another well-executed yorker, outside off, Charith Asalanka jams it out to deep point for one.

Keeps it full and straight, not allowing the batter to get under the ball. Janith Liyanage ends up slicing it to the left of extra cover for a single.

FOUR! CHANCE GOES DOWN! Massive misjudgement in the deep! Richard Ngarava keeps it at the stumps, on a length, Charith clears his front leg to go big on the off side. Slices it towards deep point where Wessly Madhevere runs in and overruns the ball. Realises that the ball is going over him and he runs over his left shoulder. Puts the dive in but the ball evades him and trickles into the fence.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Charith Asalanka tries to take the short ball on but perishes and the hope flickers for Zimbabwe! Ngarava goes short, over middle, Charith swings to get the pull shot away but the ball gets big on him. It is skied off the splice of the bat in front of deep mid-wicket. Brian Bennett runs in off the ropes and takes a safe catch. Sri Lanka lose their skipper, needing 6 runs in 7 balls.

FOUR! A very brave shot from Kamindu Mendis and he gets rewarded! Richard goes very full, on middle, Mendis changes the grip on the bat handle and gets low for the reverse. Gets more off an edge and it goes through his legs before beating short third to his right. Sri Lanka need 2 runs from the final over.

Off-pace delivery, on a hard length, over middle, Janith Liyanage hangs back and swivels to pull it away but the ball goes under the bat.

Keeps it near the tramline on off, on a length, Janith reaches out and pushes it to the right of cover where the fielder dives to cut it off. The batters cross for one and the scores are level!

Sri Lanka get over the line! Blessing Muzarabani goes short, over middle, Kamindu Mendis gets on top of the bounce and helps the pull behind square on the leg side for a single. Sri Lanka clinch the series with a 2-0 scoreline!
