Half of the Zimbabwe innings is over and till now Sri Lankan bowlers have kept things in control by not letting the run rate climb. ZIM captain Sikandar Raza (12*) and Brian Bennet (28*) are on crease.

The powerplay went to Sri Lanka courtesy Maheesh Theekshana who picked up both the wickets. Braian Bennet (23*) looked comfortable on crease and would be aiming for a big score and take his team to a good score in this crucial match.
