Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe ICC World Cup 38th Match – Match Result
Updated：Zimbabwe won by 6 wickets (with 3 balls remaining).
| Sri Lanka | Zimbabwe |
| 178/7 | 182/4(19.3) |
Zimbabwe exposed a growing imbalance in Sri Lanka’s T20 blueprint at the Khettarama, chasing 178 with composure to enter the Super Eight unbeaten. Sri Lanka’s innings followed a familiar pattern: 61 in the powerplay, 51 in the last four overs, but just 66 in the ten overs between. While Kusal Mendis defended the tactic of preserving wickets for a late surge, Zimbabwe outscored them 91 to 66 in that middle phase and never lost control. With frontline bowlers missing, Sri Lanka’s “donut” approach now looks risky, especially against stronger Super Eight opposition.
Zimbabwe remain unbeaten in the 2026 #T20WorldCup group stages with a brilliant victory over Sri Lanka 👏
