fitting finish. Bouncer that flies high over Dilshan's head and wide down the leg side, so it is wide on two counts. Sri Lanka have five points, and Zimbabwe are down from first on the table, to last.

Full commentary
So there - Zim have let themselves down big time today, and squandered their advantage on the league table. Sri Lanka have jumped into the lead, and there is a lot to play for going into the second round of league games. Hang on for the presentation.
Chigumbura: "Very disappointing. We did not play well, hopefully we will bounce back. Building an innings has been a problem - we lost four wickets in a short space of time. We need to improve on that. 180 was going to be competitive, but it was difficult to get there after losing those wickets. I thought Masakadza stuck at it, and hopefully he will carry it on."
Dilshan: "Very happy. We got the bonus point, it is a huge advantage. Kulasekara and Dilhara bowled well up front, and then all three spinners did well today. After the first innings, I was keen to find how many overs for the bonus point, and after 6-7 overs I said let's go for it, it is easy to get there in 20 overs. I hope to continue my form going forward."
Man of the match is Suraj Randiv. "I am very happy, this is my first MoM award. Masakadza does not play the sweep shot, so I used the round the wicket tactic."
That's it from us at Cricinfo. On behalf of the team, this is Nitin Sundar signing off. Do check out Sriram Veera's bulletin for the game. Cheers!

Batting Powerplay taken. Get ready for some action. Sri Lanka need 3 runs to win off 9 overs. This could be interesting! Yawn.

well... another rank long hop, the batsman pounced on it and pulled it fine of square leg, where the fielder made a mess of a regulation stop.
