Zimbabwe beat Sri Lanka in match 2 of Tri Nation T20I Series 2025
Sikandar Raza was named Player of the Match for his all-round performance
Zimbabwe lost the first match by five wickets against Pakistan
Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe clashed against each other in the 2nd match of the ongoing Tri Nation T20I Series 2025 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Thursday, November 20. After losing the first match against Pakistan, Zimbabwe made a strong comeback in the second clash of the series.
Zimbabwe won the toss and opted to field first, a decision that paid off handsomely. Sri Lanka’s response with the bat was a disaster, as they were bundled out for just 95 runs in 20 overs, while Zimbabwe had earlier posted 162/8 thanks to solid contributions from Brian Bennett (49) and Sikandar Raza (47).
Sri Lanka’s chase never got off the ground. Early breakthroughs from Richard Ngarava and Tinotenda Maposa set the tone, and Zimbabwe’s bowlers applied constant pressure.
With the batting lineup collapsing around skipper Dasun Shanaka, who tried to hold things together, Sri Lanka were never in the hunt. Zimbabwe’s fielding was sharp, their bowling disciplined, and they deservedly took a 67‑run victory that gives them control in the series.
