Match Prediction.

Sri Lanka got off to a great start to the ODI series & will look ahead to capitalize on the winning momentum. Though Zimbabwe didn’t get a favourable result in the first ODI, they have shown great determination & fought till the end in harsh conditions.

 

However, the Lankans have always emerged strongly in their home conditions & are favourites to win the second ODI. On the other hand, Zimbabwe is expected to turn the tables around by displaying impressive performance as they did in the first ODI.

 

Prediction: Sri Lanka to win the match
