US EditionNissanka’s Unbeaten 98 Earns Sri Lanka First Win in T20 Tri
Nissanka’s unbeaten 98, including four sixes and 11 boundaries, led Sri Lanka to chase 148-1 with 22 balls remaining for their first tri-series win.
- Tuesday saw Pathum Nissanka produce an unbeaten 98 off 58 balls as Sri Lanka national cricket team chased 146-5 to reach 148-1 and win by nine wickets.
- Sharing the opening, Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis built an 89-run stand off 64 balls as Sri Lanka spinners Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga controlled the innings, limiting Zimbabwe's scoring.
- Zimbabwe bowlers offered loose overs—Brad Evans and Tinotenda Maposa leaked 36 and 29 runs while Richard Ngarava conceded 44 off 3.2 overs as Nissanka targeted their bowling.
- The result leaves the tri-series delicately poised as Pakistan national cricket team has qualified for Saturday's final, but Sri Lanka national cricket team must beat the host Thursday or Zimbabwe national cricket team will advance.
- Nissanka's innings also carried historical weight as he surpassed Kusal Perera to become Sri Lanka's highest run-scorer in T20Is, marking a standout performance in the Tri-Nation T20I Series context.
