The two sides recently engaged in a closely contested One Day International (ODI) series, with the host nation ultimately claimi♌ng victory after securing wins in the last two games. The initial match of the three-game series had been washed out due to unforeseen weather conditions.
Sri Lanka’s recent success in the ODI series has undoubtedly bolstered their confidence, and the team is eager to carry forward the winning momentum onto the T20I stage. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, are keen on turning the tables and commencing the T20I leg with a resounding victory. They will look to regroup and make strategic adjustments based on their ODI performance.
