Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe Fourth ODI at Harare
ZIM v SL, 4th ODI, Harare: Six-wicket Mendis sets up narrow Sri Lanka win (SL 4:0)
Nov 28, 2008
Sri Lanka spinner Ajantha Mendis captured a career-best 6-29 as the tourists edged Zimbabwe by two wickets to take a 4-0 lead in the five-match one-day series at Harare on Friday.
Mendis helped bowl out Zimbabwe for just 147 in 46.3 overs and they seemed set fair for a comfortable victory, especially after Zimbabwe had slumped to low scores of 124 and 67 all out in earlier matches.
But they endured an anxious afternoon as they just managed to scramble over the line with eight wickets down, making a hard fought 150-8 in 47.3 overs.
The fifth and final match takes place on Sunday.
ZIM v SL, 4th ODI, Harare: Sri Lanka 150 for 8 (47.3 overs) beat Zimbabwe 146 all out (46.3 overs) by 2 wickets
