Ist ODI zim V SL

Even though Sri lanka won (congrats to them) by Duckworth Lewis, Zim looked ok on paper.
Well, a few good things came from Zimbabwe in this game
T Taibu unlucky not to get a century, looks a good player, A Maregwede and ML Nkala can hang around.
Zim need to sort out the openers, both scored ducks. A side with 4 debutants scored over 200.And they didn't get bowled out!
Bowling only Nkala was really out of his depth. But He'll learn. Perhaps the batting is better for him anyway.
Bowling O M R WHondo 7 1 34 2 (3w)Panyangara 5 1 22 1Chigumbura 5 0 32 1Nkala 6 0 34 0 (1w)Taibu 4 0 19 0 (1w) It's a bit strange that SL went beyond the needed total, but there must have been confusion as to what that was.If Zimbabwe can improve on this performance, they could push Sri Lanka. Sri lanka won by twelve runs, but it was a close call!
