finally Malinga gets one straight and Mupariwa misses a wild heave to bring this match to an end. The result has been known for much of Zimbabwe's innings but the Sri Lankan bowlers will be pleased with their run out, although there were a few too many extras once again
Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe, 3rd Qualifying Match at Ahmedabad, Oct 10 2006 - Match Result
So Sri Lanka make it two out of two in the Champions Trophy and are virtually assured of moving into the main section of the tournament. It still has to be settled but Sri Lanka have found some useful practice in these early matches.
The hightlight of the match was the batting of Upul Tharanga and Kumar Sangakkara. Tharanga made his second century in two matches before the Sri Lankan seamers ran through the Zimbabwean top order.
The next match is tomorrow between West Indies and Bangladesh and you can catch live coverage here on Cricinfo. We hope you have enjoyed today's match and from me, Andrew McGlashan, and Jenny Thompson it's goodbye for now and thanks for following the match with us.
hold onto your hats folks, it's a boundary! A thick edge flies over the slips and down to third man
tries to give himself room again, doesn't time the ball and goes to mid off
goes for a drive, misses, and the rather turgid end to this match continues
draws the bat inside the line and the ball goes over the stumps
all defence from Kamungozi who is still looking for his first international run
gives himself room and crunches this towards mid off who runs round and keeps it to a single
gets this yorker on target but it is well dug out
this one slips out and goes on the full toss past the stumps
attempted yorker, hits the boot but drifting down the leg side
inswinger and defended from the crease
outside off stump and left to the keeper
gets bat onto this one and they scamper a single
very wide outside off stump
strikes the pads but going well down the leg side
short, on the off stump and zips past the edge
Thanks Jen, well it hasn't been the most thrilling of innings and Sri Lanka will hope to wrap this up very quickly&
That's the end of my stint - and now I will pass over to the delighted and delightful Andrew who is waiting to tell you about the end of the match
and that's defended to end the over
how did that miss? It just went through straight
there was some bat on that one, but that just evades the man in short on the off-side
that pops up a little bit
