Sri Lanka took after a clinical show in the field with enduring center request batting to pursue down 161 with 75 balls to extra and finish a persuading six-wicket triumph over Zimbabwe in the tri-arrangement last. Kusal Mendis featured with the bat, hitting ten fours in his shining 57, to lead Sri Lanka's hearty recuperation after they had slipped to 42 for 3.
Mendis was bolstered by Upul Tharanga in a 75-run fourth-wicket association that put the guests immovably on course for the win. While Tharanga was firmly scratchy at an early stage, and survived two or three shots, he assumed control over the mantle after Mendis withdrew. He wrapped up procedures by clubbing a four and a six to complete on 57 not out and, all the more significantly, put the completing addresses Sri Lanka's fruitful battle in his first arrangement as skipper.
Zimbabwe's droop to 160 in the wake of picking to bat on a not too bad Bulawayo track was to a great extent their very own result failings. Poor shot determination left them pursuing the amusement from an early stage. Be that as it may, the questionable decisions started even before a ball was rocked the bowling alley, with the oversight of their standard openers in the arrangement, Chamu Chibhabha and Brian Chari.
That constrained Hamilton Masakadza and Peter Moor to fill the opening spaces. Field, specifically, looked uncomfortable with the advancement, and it was not much sooner than he scooped a harmless straight conveyance from Suranga Lakmal to blessing a simple catch to midwicket. Masakadza tailed him back before long when he was caught in front by a Nuwan Kulasekara in-scoop.
Rain interfered with play with Zimbabwe on 20 for 2 in 5.1 overs, yet their genuine inconveniences started just about a hour after the resumption. A promising third-wicket association of 53 between debutant Tarisai Musakanda and Craig Ervine finished when Ervine shut his bat confront ahead of schedule to give the least difficult of return gets to legspinner Jeffrey Vandersay. Musakanda was occupied and fiery amid his 36 off 37, however he died to a similar bowler, going after a ball that was abandoning him to scratch to first slip. At that point Sikandar Raza missed an endeavored clear by a major edge and Zimbabwe were 89 for 5.
They were not yet done shooting themselves in the foot, however. Malcolm Waller and Sean Williams both discarded average begins with monstrous, cross-batted trudges that went high noticeable all around. The tail did not offer much resistance and Zimbabwe were rocked the bowling alley out in 36.3 overs on a pitch that had not offered anything strange to the bowlers.
All things considered, Sri Lanka turned out an expert execution with the ball and in the field. Kulasekara and Lakmal knocked down some pins with train with the new ball to secure the batsmen from the start. Vandersay, acquired to supplant Nuwan Pradeep, then separated nice turn and uncovered the house group's shortcoming against turn. Alongside left-arm spinner Sachith Pathirana, he pegged Zimbabwe back in the center overs. The two spinners took 5 for 76 in 17 overs between them, helped by a screamer of a catch by Mendis at short cover to dispose of Graeme Cremer. Asela Gunaratne then tidied up the tail, completing with 3 for 10.
At the point when the sides returned out to start the second innings before the lunch interim, Brian Vitori affected a wobble with three early wickets. He stuck Dhananjaya de Silva lbw for a brilliant duck and snuck one between Niroshan Dickwella's bat and cushion to spread his stumps. At that point, Kusal Perera trudged him just to the extent Waller at mid-on, leaving Sri Lanka on 42 for 3.
In any case, Mendis and Tharanga steadied the pursuit after the break, notwithstanding the last's initial battles. Tharanga thought that it was hard to pivot the strike against turn and was reprieved on 18 when Masakadza spilled an intense shot at short midwicket. He made due through it all, however, while Mendis spread out various sublime cover drives at the flip side. When Mendis holed out to Williams at profound square leg, Sri Lanka were on course for a pounding win, and it was Tharanga who took them past the complete line in style.

I think KJP need to play residential cricket and recover his shape. Indeed, he ought to have done that instantly after the rebound. May be Gunathilaka ought to be allowed to open. In his last 5 ODIs he has scored 156 keeps running at a strike rate of 95.
KADMIN ON NOVEMBER 28, 2016, 7:14 GMT
Parcel of positives you can draw from this arrangement. Mendis is settled down to his position and as I have anticipated Vandersay is a vital machine gear-piece in the line-up. Still I trust de Silva ought to bat @ 3. Opening spaces are up for gets whoever going to venture up. Gradually our seat quality is coming great with players like Asela, Sachith, Dasun, Sandakan and so on. A few people rip into Angelo and his captaincy, however you need to recall that he has accomplished such a great amount in his residency. He is the best all rounder so far we have. I know he has some opportunity to get better in his administration as a few times he demonstrates his adolescence in his basic leadership, however he will gain from the errors. Keep doing awesome to deal with the opening space and some more seat quality in quick rocking the bowling alley.
AUSLANKAINDIA99 ON NOVEMBER 28, 2016, 7:09 GMT
The allrounder Asela gunaratne is path superior to thisara Perera. Don't know why SL cricket didn't acquaint him with universal cricket at an early age. Shehan Jayasuriya demonstrated he can neither bat nor bowl turn. Great future for de Silva, dickwella and kusal mendis. It would appear that dickwella can swap kusal Perera for future ODI opening space. Kusal Perera demonstrated he can just bat in SL not supervises. Great choice bringing beginners into the SL group early this year.
CRICFAN564789 ON NOVEMBER 28, 2016, 6:53 GMT
On the off chance that SL need to have some effect in their disgraceful odi arrangement record seen since Mathews assumed control from MJ , they ought to first product the spoil at top spot in batting request and route, that brought on constant rot in SL odi cricket since 2013. Give due acknowledgment for efficiency and Reinstate Upul Tharanga as No1 opener for tests/odis in SA visit, on legitimacy/encounter and current shape. On the off chance that the selectors rehash the history seen in 2014, sitting above Upul for NZ visit and WC, soon after creating an arrangement characterizing commitments with 92, 45 as opener in the decider to win an intense test arrangement Vs PK.... the outcomes would be the same in SA... what exactly we saw with rehashed mortifications in NZ tests/odi arrangement and WC in 2015.

@CRZCRIC.please see keeps running of Sachith pathirana. Why aponso in not in your great books?
CRICFAN564789 ON NOVEMBER 28, 2016, 6:28 GMT
Disgrace to see some offensive comments of confused kusal fans, unsettled like a bothered honey bees settle :) UT scored unbeaten 57* in the last in spite of top floundered (with SL consistent entryway opener) putting weight on him and Mendis. The main issue here is, "scratchy" or not Upul had finished his relegated work without a hitch. He defeated all weights all the while fell on him (counting main 3 batting breakdown in the last) and lead the side from front and hauled out of issue with some indispensable batting commitments/organizations, field situations and knocking down some pins changes to enlist odi triangular arrangement win (odi arrangement win versus test countries found in 2 years). He turned into SL's first since forever captain on presentation to do as such abroad. Upul's batting normal in this arrangement is 47.5 from 3 ings, in spite of batting at a spot absolutely new to him. Batting at no 5, his possibility less little cameo of 26 runs @ 136 SR in the past odi versus WI in death overs, at last made a critical esteem in wining that match too.
RAMANJIT ON NOVEMBER 28, 2016, 6:21 GMT
Some non-Sri Lankan commentators appear to scrutinize the significance of this win. They are recklessly determined twisted to esteem it down. Be that as it may, it was an imperative win for Sri Lanka on the grounds that it demonstrated that SL group has not lost its focused edge in spite of having an extremely youthful group without stars.
ANVER777 ON NOVEMBER 28, 2016, 6:05 GMT
Decent to see SL wining a title after some time !!! Mendis deservedly got the man of the arrangement for his reliable batting in the series.... Tharanga assumed the stay part after few hiccups in the begin yet completed in style at last...

SL demonstrated they are the best with regards to ODI ceicket and Pak in tests
CRZCRIC ON NOVEMBER 28, 2016, 3:50 GMT
The late pattern of SL group choice is genuine entertainers like Dhanushka gunathilaka,Milinda siriwardena ,Sandakan,Vadesay ,Dasun shanaka are all of a sudden tossed into intense rivals or weight circumstances without letting them to settle. Lamentably players like Roshen silva,Romesh buddika doesn't get that little shot. In the meantime some lesser entertainers like Shehan jayasuriya, Sachith pathirana , Thisara perera are getting steady opportunitie
