Sri Lanka Sweeps Zimbabwe ODI Series with Nissanka Century

Pathum Nissanka's century was instrumental in Sri Lanka's five-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the second ODI at Harare, securing a 2-0 series win. Nissanka scored 122 runs off 136 balls, supported by captain Charith Asalanka's 71, as Sri Lanka successfully chased Zimbabwe's total of 278 with three balls to spare. Zimbabwe posted 277 for seven, with notable contributions from Ben Curran (79) and Sikandar Raza (59 not out), but Sri Lanka's bowling restricted them effectively. Despite some late pressure in the chase, Sri Lanka maintained composure, with strong partnerships and key performances ensuring their control throughout the innings. The series win sets the stage for an upcoming three-game Twenty20 series between the two teams in Harare. Both teams showed competitive spirit, but Sri Lanka's consistent batting and strategic fielding ultimately made the difference.
