Kusal Mendis 22(73)
62.5
Raza to Kusal Mendis, out Caught by Mumba!! A freaky dismissal this. A half-tracker from Raza and Mendis had ample time to rock back and nail the pull on the leg-side, he jumps back and hammers the pull flush onto the helmet of the FSL who takes an evasive action, only to send the deflection flying towards the square leg fielder. The fielder at short fine is down and he is being carried off the field. Match referee Javagal Srinath looks concerned and he is having a chat with the medical staff near the Zimbabwean dressing room. Kusal Mendis c Mumba b Raza 22(73) [4s-1 6s-1]
