Twitter Image Sri Lankan dressing room was filled with joy and smiles as Nissanka received praise from Mendis, who played a crucial role in supporting him to reach his century. The run chase turned out to be a breeze for them, comfortably reaching the target with plenty of time to spare. However, it was Sri Lanka's bowling that once again caught everyone's attention. Throughout the tournament, their bowling unit had been outstanding, contributing significantly to their flawless winning streak.
Winning the toss today proved advantageous as Madushanka and Theekshana delivered exceptional performances at different stages of the game. Madushanka impressed with the new ball, while Theekshana shone in the later stages, leading to Zimbabwe being bowled out for a mere 165 runs. With such a modest target, Zimbabwe had little chance of defending it, and their hopes were dashed early on by Sri Lanka's strong opening partnership.
As a result of this victory, Sri Lanka has secured their place in the World Cup, and now the attention turns to a likely showdown between Zimbabwe and Scotland for the remaining spot.

LIVE SL vs ZIM WC Qualifier: Ervine After Defeat
'Was always going to be challenging batting first. There were a couple of soft dismissals too. Losing three wickets early put us on the back foot. He's done it for Sri Lanka on numerous occasions (Theekshana). Partnership between WIlliams and Raza brought us back in the game. And then he came on and destroyed us in the middle. Don't need to prepare any differently than what we have been doing (for the Scotland game).'

'Coming into Qualifiers is always tough. But still if you go through the process, with the team we've got here, we know we're going to qualify. Credit to other teams, some of the teams gave us some good fight in between but still we are the better side. Madushanka has been outstanding. This bunch of players, they've got their own skills and utilise the conditions well here. Knowing our strength is the key to success. We play one step at a time. Every game we don't take easy. Not going to take it lightly in the next game, want to prove that we are the better team coming here.'

LIVE SL vs ZIM WC Qualifier: See You After Break
Sri Lanka's bowling performance once again stood out as they dismantled Zimbabwe's batting lineup, dismissing them in the 33rd over. Winning the toss proved advantageous for Sri Lanka, and they capitalized on it beautifully. Madushanka made an impressive start, taking three wickets in his opening spell. Theekshana then took over, mesmerizing the likes of Williams, Burl, and the lower-order batsmen with his carrom balls. Despite Williams scoring another fifty and building a promising partnership with Raza, their momentum was disrupted by Shanaka's seemingly innocuous delivery, resulting in a breakthrough. Following that, Zimbabwe's batting line-up crumbled. Sri Lanka now have a target of 166 runs, and if they successfully chase it, they will secure qualification for the World Cup. Given their strong position, the chase should be comfortable for them.

Innings Break
LIVE SL vs ZIM WC Qualifier: Sri Lanka On Top
Pathirana claims the wicket of Brad Evans, caught lbw! The umpire's finger is raised, signalling an lbw dismissal, but Evans decides to challenge the decision and calls for a review. The question arises: has the ball missed the leg stump? It was a full delivery directed at the leg stump, and Evans fails to connect with his attempted flick, resulting in the ball hitting his pad. After careful examination, it is revealed that the ball is just grazing the leg stump—a matter of mere millimetres. With such a narrow margin, the decision remains with the umpire's call. Disappointed, Evans shakes his head as he makes his way back to the pavilion. He contributed 14 runs off 16 balls, including two boundaries, before being dismissed lbw by Pathirana.

LIVE SL vs ZIM WC Qualifier: ZIM 7 Down
Jongwe falls victim to Theekshana, trapped lbw! Theekshana strikes again, earning another wicket. However, Jongwe challenges the decision and opts for a review. The ball, a carrom ball aimed at the middle stump, evades Jongwe's attempted sweep and appears to be heading straight for the stumps. The absence of an immediate appeal suggests there was no contact with the bat. Indeed, the bat is far from the ball's trajectory, and the ball-tracking technology confirms it would crash into the leg stump. Theekshana continues to dominate the game, dismissing Jongwe lbw for 10 runs off 12 balls, including one boundary.
