Blessing Muzarabani to Kamindu Mendis. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, in the air under control to deep backward square leg for 1 run, fielded by Butt. Sri Lanka secured victory by five wickets in a well-fought match. Pathum Nissanka delivered a remarkable performance, scoring 122 runs and expertly anchoring the team's chase with skill and composure. Charith Asalanka provided valuable support with a crucial 71 runs, while Sadeera Samarawickrama contributed a useful 31 to keep the team's momentum going. Despite Zimbabwe's bowlers putting up a strong fight, they could not capitalise on critical moments, with Brad Evans and Richard Ngarava standing out by taking two wickets each. Overall, Sri Lanka executed a clinical run chase, leading to a convincing win. Pathum Nissanka is the Player of Match and the Player of the Series.
