Brad Evans to Rajapaksa, out Bowled!! End of a pretty poor knock from Rajapaksa. He never looked in and his running was all over the place too. He charges Brad Evans and looks to slog to leg, the length ball cuts in and through the bat and pad gap, hits the top of middle-stump. That's a wild shot and Rajapaksa goes. Zimbabwe all over Sri Lanka here. The pressure got to Rajapaksa there. Rajapaksa b Brad Evans 11(18) [4s-1]

Raza to Rajapaksa, out Kusal Mendis Run Out!! Dreadful running. This length delivery drifts in and cramps Rajapaksa on the cut, he punches to cover and sets off, Kusal Mendis is not interested at all but has to sacrifice himself in the end. The throw is lobbed to Brendan Taylor but is well wide, but since the batters were stranded, it didn't matter. A gift of a wicket for Zimbabwe. Mendis just puts the head down and walks off. Kusal Mendis run out (Munyonga/Brendan Taylor) 6(12)

Tinotenda Maposa to Rajapaksa, FOUR, poor delivery. Full and down leg, Rajapaksa shuffles across and flicks with style and swag to the fine-leg fence, well wide of short fine
5.1
Tinotenda Maposa to Rajapaksa, 1 run, Burl at deep backward point did so well there, he was wrongfooted but lunged out with an outstretched left hand to come up with the ball as it spun away. Saves three. Rajapaksa comes down the track and carves the back of a length delivery and there was massive spin on that
4.5
Brad Evans to Rajapaksa, 1 run, short of length and angling in to off, Rajapaksa opens the face of the bat and guides it down to third man

Tinotenda Maposa to Rajapaksa, no run, all sorts of action there. A rising short delivery down leg, Rajapaksa gloves the pull as he is rushed, Brendan Taylor can't get there as he runs forward and looks to catch it. Ngarava nearly cleans up Tinotenda Maposa with a throw from short fine, Kusal Mendis was halfway down and the throw misses, interesting with a direct-hit
3.5
Tinotenda Maposa to Rajapaksa, wide, short and wide outside off, width was there, Rajapaksa throws the bat at that and misses, called a wide

2.4
Ngarava to Rajapaksa, 1 run, good length on off, Rajapaksa drops it in front of cover, he is slow to take off and dives to get in. A direct-hit would have been interesting there, I guess Rajapaksa might have just made it
