Hard-fought win in series opener against Zimbabwe ushers Sri Lanka's T20I era under Wanindu Hasaranga

India TV News  

Wanindu Hasaranga scripted a winning start to his captaincy era on Sunday as Sri Lanka pipped Zimbabwe by three wickets in the T20I series opener at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo by three wickets. The toss fell in favour of the Sri Lankan skipper Hasaranga and he had no hesitation in asking the tourists to put a score on the board. Other than Nuwan Thushara and Dushmantha Chmeera, all the other Sri Lankan bowlers were immaculate in terms of their line and length and ensured the tourists didn't breach the 150-run mark. However, a rescue of the highest order by Angelo Mathews, who was playing a T20I game for the first time since March 2021, and Dasun Shanaka took the Lankan Lions home eventually.
