What a strange team Zimbabwe are. Lose to Scotland and Netherlands and then look like they are gonna chase 317 against Sri Lanka...

Possibly some major concerns for SL.

Dan mentioned that they also recently lost to Scotland in a friendly.

Despite the inexperienced nature of the bowling attack, I think it might be time to put Malinga out to pasture.

Is becoming increasingly ineffective and is a liability in the field.

Despite Sri Lanka's win, their fielding has been exceptionally poor.

Gunathilaka is the man on a flat track

Complete bottle job by Sri Lanka from the position they were in.

Gunathilaka's strike rate is also too low for an ODI opener.
