Dinesh Chandimal and Pathum Nissanka smashed fifties respectively as Sri Lanka won the first ODI comfortably. The day-night starter reached a pitched showdown climaxing in a crescendo of runs after Zimbabwe’s Sean Williams set the ball rolling with an 87-ball 100 laced with 7 boundaries and 2 sixes after the visitors batted first.


But Sri Lanka’s opening batsman Nissanka smashed 75 off 71 balls cracking 10 fours in adding 40 for the first wicket with Kusal Mendis who made a quickfire 26 off 24 with 6 to the ropes. From there Charith Asalanka and Chandimal set the tempo in two masterly contrasting knocks as Sri Lanka took control. Charith Asalanka 71 off 68 (6x4, 2x6) and Chandimal 75 off 91 (4x4,1x6) in a Lankan total of 300 for 5 off 48.3 overs.
