Sri Lanka won a nail-biting 5-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in Harare to lead the ODI series 2–0. A match-winning century by opener Pathum Nissanka chased a target of 278 with only three balls remaining.

Zimbabwe had previously registered a good score of 277/7 with steady input from the middle order. But the calmness of Nissanka, who scored 122 out of 136 balls, kept Sri Lanka on track even though the middle overs were putting pressure. His swings were swift in terms of rotating strikes plus timing boundaries so that the pursuit never went out of the strike.

The Sri Lankan middle order gave a much-needed stability with supporting knocks, which assisted the team to cross the finish line in dramatic style. Nissanka was too composed in his nature, and bowlers in Zimbabwe had to make a late rush to reverse the tide.

Nissanka was awarded the Player of the Match, as well as the Player of the Series, after his remarkable play, and his total number of runs amounted to 198 in only 2 matches. The success of Sri Lanka was based on its consistency.

This was not only the series win that gave Sri Lanka confidence but also a boost to future challenges. Fans were on the edge of their seats because so many things were happening in the nail-biting match, and tapmad streamed the match live, so no fan missed any action. so that no fan could miss anything in the event.
