Sri Lanka cruise to win

Sri Lanka had little trouble capitalising on Zimbabwe’s batting capitulation, reaching their victory target in a little over 33 overs to win the first one-day international by six wickets in Harare.

The hosts lost their last seven wickets for three runs – including six successive ducks – to be bowled out for only 127 by Sri Lanka spinners Muttiah Muralitharan and Ajantha Mendis.
