On the final day of the tri-series, the clock struck 12 and Zimbabwe's Cinderella XI ran into harsh reality. Put into bat, they were accosted by top-quality swing bowling from Nuwan Kulasekara and Dilhara Fernando, and the damage done in those early overs was too great to reverse for a resourceful Tatenta Taibu, who swept and hustled his way to 71. Tillakaratne Dilshan and Upul Tharanga were ruthless in finishing Zimbabwe off with a 160-run opening stand.

Zimbabwe made - 199/all out; 49 overs (Taibu 71, Fernando 3-36)

Zimbabwe vs Srilanka Triangular Series 3rd Match Result - Sri Lanka won by 9 wickets

2010 Tri Series, Srilanka beat Zimbabwe 3rd Tri Series Matches win 9 Wicket, with 64 balls remaining, on Tuesday, 1st Jun, 2010, at Bulawayo. Zim made 118/all out; 24.5 overs while SL made 119/1 in 15.2 overs. man of the Match is Suraj Randiv who made 3 Wicket.

Srilanka attacked from every corner, with spin and seam, to strangle and harass the hosts who just about managed to get past 100. Only Masakadza managed to successfully combine aggressive intent with the required skill that the rain-reduced 26-over game demanded of the batsmen.

Zimbabwe also faltered in their strategy. Why was Greg Lamb, a batsman with a strike rate of about 41, sent in at No.3 in a 26-over game? The pitch wasn't so bad that they needed to stitch one end up. Lamb crawled to a 19-ball 10 which was neither here nor there and only piled pressure on Masakadza.

Match Summary:

Zimbabwe made - 242/all out; 49.5 overs (Masakadza 62, Randiv 3-23)

Srilanka made - 243/3 in 43.3 overs (Dilshan 60*, Tharanga 40)

Toss - Sri Lanka, who chose to field.

Man of the Match - Suraj Randiv (India)

Result - Sri Lanka won by 9 wickets (with 64 balls remaining)

Zimbabwe rely on their four-prong spin attack is no secret. It's as if they are saying, We have four spinners who like strangling the batsmen and two of them - Ray Price and Prosper Utseya - have no problem in operating within Powerplays.

Srilanka Tharanga is an unlikely candidate to replace the more popular and the more attacking Sanath Jayasuriya but his job has been made relatively easier by Jayasuriya's recent failures.

India vs Srilanka Tri Series 2nd Match Result - India won by 7 wickets

2010 Tri Series, India beat Srilanka 2nd Tri Series Matches win 7 Wicket, with 39 balls remaining, on Saturday, 30th May, 2010, at Bulawayo. SL made 242/all out; 49.5 overs while Ind made 243/3 in 43.3 overs. man of the Match is Rohit Sharma who made 101 runs off 100 balls with 6 fours and 2 sixes.

Srilanka were forced to adopt a brand of cricket that smelt of 80s: Start slowly, build momentum in the middle overs, reach a run-rate of four by the 40th, and try to hit out in the end.

India batsmen, barring Rohit, who had brief moments of rashness, eschewed flamboyance for a risk-free approach. Kohli in particular. There was just one shot in anger when Kohli put away a short googly from Ajantha Mendis to the midwicket boundary.

Match Summary:

Srilanka made - 242/all out; 49.5 overs (Mathews 75, Dilshan 61)

India made - 243/3 in 43.3 overs (Sharma 101, Kohli 82)

Toss - India, who chose to field.

Man of the Match - Rohit Sharma (India)

Result - India won by 7 wickets (with 39 balls remaining)

India selectors, though, have taken the whole rotation philosophy too seriously and forgotten to send a proper squad. At last glance, rotation in cricket meant resting important players in turns, one or two or three at a time.

Srilanka for example, have rested Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene and Sanath Jayasuriya, but they have Dinesh Chandimal, Chamara Kapugedera and Jeevan Mendis, among others, as like-for-like replacements.

India side's only creditable spell came when Rohit Sharma scored 69 off the last 36 balls he faced to score his maiden ODI century and give India a fighting total on a flat track.

Zimbabwe were the stronger side of the two, which showed in the assured manner of a tall chase, set up by fliers from Brendan Taylor and Hamilton Masakadza and finished off with 10 balls to spare by a cool-on-debut Charles Ervine.

India too, should rely mainly on their spinners, including part-timers like Ravindra Jadeja, whose career ODI economy-rate of 4.90 is in stark contrast with his performance in the World Twenty20, Raina is an unlikely captain too, keeping the seat warm for a resting MS Dhoni. He promises a more eager, energetic performance from the young side he is leading, something his own play does too.

Zimbabwe were healthy. A team comprising Heath Streak, Flower brothers, Alistair Campbell, Paul Strang, Neil Johnson, Murray Goodwin, Henry Olonga, Guy Whittall and Stuart Carlisle at the bottom of the pile was not a bad sign at all.
