He scored 225 runs in four innings with the highest 127 runs. he can be the key batsmen for Sri Lanka. DAS Gunaratne also scored 225 runs with the highest 116. WU Tharanga scored 207 runs and now he is the captain of the Sri Lankan team.

Toss: Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field.

MDKJ Perera took eight wickets in four innings with bowled 59.3 overs and leaked 193 runs. RAS Lakmal took seven wickets in 82 overs, CBRLS Kumara took four wickets. Harare Sports Club’s trend of producing somewhat lifeless pitches means that, while the ball may not be going around corners, batsmen will still have to toil for their runs, and it may not be easy to force the pace first up. There is plenty of rain about at the moment, particularly in the late afternoon, and scattered thunderstorms are expected around Harare on Monday.

Veteran seamer Nuwan Kulasekara, who last played an ODI at the beginning of this year, has been recalled to Sri Lanka’s squad, having also played in the final game of Sri Lanka A’s limited-overs series against West Indies A at the end of October, taking 2 for 65.

Kulasekara will bring a wealth of experience to Sri Lanka’s attack. Sri Lanka has multiple wicketkeeping and spin options to sift through, with Jeffrey Vandersay returning from a finger injury and in good form after his six-for in the series win against West Indies A last month.

Seamer Tinashe Panyangara’s return from injury will lend a little more experience to Zimbabwe’s bowling line-up, while at the other end of the spectrum, the hosts have included uncapped 22-year-old batsman Tarisai Musakanda in their squad.

Musakanda was also with the team for the Tests, though he did not debut. Now, his chance may come at the expense of an underperforming Hamilton Masakadza. Given his workload in the Tests, Zimbabwe may rest seamer Chris Mpofu ahead of the games at his home ground in Bulawayo.
