Zimbabwe have won the toss and have opted to bat
13:15 PM Local: Sri Lanka got out of jail in the last ODI as Liyanage bailed them out with a stellar knock. Even in the first ODI, it was rain and Madushanka's early strikes which saved the blushes for the hosts. It has been a very competitive series so far. Something which shouldn't augur well for the hosts. They were ordinary in the World Cup as well. But this series should have been the stepping stone for the next cycle. However, it hasn't been the case.
