pathetic batting performance by Sri lanka.
But this total might be enough.

3

Zimbabwe is playing like they have to chase 300+ :hoonh:

4

Zimbabwe can win this game, They only need 148 in 41 overs, with 9 wickets remaining.

5

zimbabwe in control...the final between pak-sl may not be as automatic as some think...

6

Well, Zimbabwe proved that wrong. Jaysuriya was bowled on the second ball of the inning. What happened to him? As far as I know, he resigned as a Captain but Sri Lankan Cricket Board didn't accept it. Sangakkara, after being a Man of the Moment in Sri Lankan team went cheaply.

Andy Bilgnaut and Ervine bowled great spells. Rightnow, match is in Zimbabwe's hand 'cause they got 7 wickets in hands; Flower and Taibu on crease; and I hardly reckon Sri Lankans be able to come back in the game.

Zimbabwe: 151/3 after 39 overs. Zimbabwe required 43 runs in 11 overs.

Zimbabwe trying their best to loose this match.

look at this..
4-158 (Taibu, 39.4 ov),
5-165 (Ervine, 40.6 ov), 6-167 (Ebrahim, 42.2 ov).

27 needed in 7 overs with 4 wickets in hand..

9

Zimbo wins, they play Pakistan in the final.

Congratulation Pakistan, The champion of cherry blossom Sharjah cup :D

11

thts one boring final....

Great bowling performance by zimbabwe:k:

always wonder about this DION IBRAHIM guy. This guy is a permanent place in the Zim Squad. He has one 50 and one hundred to his credit, both against Bangladesh. Possibly he has a big Mugabe related source behind him thats why he is never dropped from the team. I alwasy liked zimbabwe and want it to do well but this guy Has never scored.

I don't know but he took a brilliant catch today of Avishka Gunawardne, maybe a he is brought in to strengthen the fielding.
I think he is a Muhammad Wasim type of player, very slow one day player, he should play often in test where run rate isn't a major factor.

Does anyone know this guy's background, he looks desi.
