High stakes are involved in the second ODI between Zimbabwe (ZIM) and Sri Lanka (SL) on January 8 in Colombo, following the series opener's washout. Captain Kusal Mendis of Sri Lanka will be looking on his team to put on a strong show following a respectable showing in the opening ODI. The hosts will be disappointed that the first game ended in a tie and will be looking for another disciplined performance in every facet of their game.
To lay a strong foundation, Craig Ervine, Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, Clive Madande, and Sikandar Raza are a major part of Zimbabwe's batting order. Blessing Muzarabani, Faraz Akram, Richard Ngarava, Raza, Ryan Burl, and Tapiwa Mufudza are the bowlers under pressure to destroy Sri Lanka's batting lineup.
