Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe Second ODI at Harare
ZIM v SL, 2nd ODI, Harare: Sri Lanka crush Zimbabwe in second one-dayer (SL 2:0)
Nov 22, 2008
Zimbabwe have suffered a humiliating nine-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka after being bowled out for just 67 in the second one day cricket international in Harare.
The Sri Lankans disdainfully knocked off the required 68 runs to win by nine wickets. Their score, reached just 10 balls after lunch, was 1-71 in 31 sedate and casual overs. Two days after a senior ICC delegation turned up to assess Zimbabwe's suitability for a return to Test cricket the country's batsmen ruined everything by cobbling together the dismal score in a backs-to-the-wall 31 overs.
The shocking loss follows one that was barely better two days ago in the first of the five-match ODI series when Zimbabwe struggled to reach 124. They've now made fewer than 200 runs in two innings while the tourists have required only five completed individual innings.
ZIM v SL, 2nd ODI, Harare: Sri Lanka 68 for 1 (17.4 overs) beat Zimbabwe 67 all out (31.0 overs) by 9 wickets
