FOUR! Eshan Malinga to Ryan Burl. Length ball, outside off stump deep in crease Slog, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. That's the end of the first innings. Zimbabwe have posted a decent total on the board, with Sikandar Raza playing a brilliant knock, scoring a crucial 37 runs, while Ryan Burl added 37 valuable runs to the scoreboard. On the other hand, Sri Lanka's bowlers, led by Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga, bowled exceptionally well. Both spinners picked up two wickets each and kept the pressure on the Zimbabwean batters throughout the innings. Can Sri Lanka chase down this total, or will Zimbabwe successfully defend it?
