Sri Lanka have completed a clinical nine-wicket win here. Zimbabwe have only themselves to blame for their appalling batting display, and will hope to come back strongly in the next match.
Prosper Utseya: "We wanted to bat first after we batted well in the first 15 overs of the previous game. We need to do our homework, and we hope for a better performance in the next game"
Mahela Jayawardene: "This was a much improved performance from our last game and it was good to see our fast bowlers coming to the party this time."
Ajantha Mendis is the Man of the Match for his haul of 4 for 15.
That's it folks! Thanks for joining us today and lets all hope for a more exciting fixture on the 24th when these two teams meet again. Until then, it's goodbye from Siddhartha Talya on the commentary and Chaminda D'Silva on the scoring desk. Adios!
