**Official*** Zimbabwe in Sri Lanka 2023/24

[Chubb]

Yes, i believe so. There's another one named Shingirai

That's correct. Wellington is the youngest. Shingirai played a handful of tests and did okay.

A lot of Zimbabwean fans on social media think Wellington is only in the team because he's a Masakadza. Though in my experience Zimbabwean fans are as fickle as any.

Second-best by a leg-spinner in ODIs?

Shahid Afrid's 7-12 bested this

Third best if you include Rashid Khan as a legspinner.

Average Raza effort then

Casually averaging 46 with the bat and 15 with the ball in his last 30 T20Is

 

[Owzat]

Raza deserves to be MOTM despite the loss. 62 off 42 with the bat and 3/13 off his 4 overs with the ball.

I agree, sometimes MOTM is given to eg scored winning goal or someone from winning side, who said it had to be.....

FFS!

30/4. Not the best of starts for SL.

 

[Himannv]

He's struggling to score quick but Matthews kept the innings together and we're set up to go after it now.

 

[Silver Silva]

Highest 5th wicket partnership ever for Sri Lanka in T20 cricket ..

If Asalanka keeps these performances up for the next 3 years I think he can get into our greatest ever white ball line ups, he is so good under pressure

 

[Silver Silva]

Well played Zimbabwe

I feel if you are using Shanaka and Mathews as your 5th bowler you are asking for trouble and it came back to bite us .

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Why can't they play 5 bowlers? What's so hard

I think they are missing Dhananjaya De Silva who is a good fifth bowler to split overs with Asalanka and Matthews. Hasaranga at 8 gives them good depth.

 

[Himannv]

Shanaka and the selectors are to blame for this loss. He has no business playing for Sri Lanka right now. He doesn't bowl, he doesn't bat, and now he doesn't even captain the side.

I mean, the match was set up perfectly for him to come in and slog it, which is the one thing he is good at, and he did not even manage that. On top of that, he's not even bowling his quota so I don't see the point of having him in the side. He's just extra luggage that's weighing down the plane.

Zim fans have gone from saying the entire team should be dropped to posting this gem by a gloating Bangladeshi.

Would not expect anything less from a Bangladeshi troll fan , 20 years as test nation not even 1 Asia Cup but try to disrespect others.

 

[Bahseph]

He got collared in the last over but if Mathews is back in the side then Shanaka doesn't have to be a thing. Mathews also hardly bowled at the death in his prime,why give him the last over when he barely hobbles in these days??

This is nothing for Zimbabwe fans to gloat at. The pic is insulting them actually more than Srilanka. It says that SL cricket has died just because they lost a single T20 to Zimbabwe.

I was following on from my earlier post about Wellington Masakadza and how fickle Zimbabwean fans can be.
