Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe Live Streaming, T20 Tri-Series Match 5: Sri Lanka enter a must-win situation as they face off against Zimbabwe in Match 5 of the ongoing T20 Tri-Series in Rawalpindi. While Pakistan have already stormed into the final, Sri Lanka, who were unexpectedly winless after their first two outings, need nothing less than a victory to stay alive.
The shocking loss to Zimbabwe in the opening clash, which saw them collapse for 95 chasing 162, exposed worrying inconsistencies. A bright start against Pakistan dissolved into another mediocre total of 127/8 as the hosts chased down without breaking into a sweat. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe have looked spirited and disciplined, riding on strong all-round contributions and better game awareness.
