Sri Lanka beat Zimbabwe by 4 wickets in first T20

Sri Lanka beat Zimbabwe by 4 wickets to go 1-0 up in the series. Nissanka’s explosive start powered them to 65 in the powerplay and 96 for the opening wicket, putting them in control at the halfway mark. 

However, Zimbabwe fought back brilliantly, taking 4 wickets for just 10 runs in 19 balls to swing the momentum.

The game hung in the balance until Kamindu Mendis, dropped on 4 by Evans, turned the tide. His brutal assault—26 runs off Maposa in the 18th over—sealed the win for Sri Lanka. Stick around for the post-match presentations.
