Sri Lanka Wins T20I Series 2-1 Over Zimbabwe in Harare

Sri Lanka clinched the T20I series against Zimbabwe 2-1 with an eight-wicket victory in the third and final match at Harare Sports Club, successfully chasing down a target of 192 with 14 balls to spare. Kamil Mishara starred with an unbeaten 73, forging a crucial 117-run partnership with Kusal Perera, who remained 46 not out, to secure the win. Zimbabwe posted 191 for eight, bolstered by Tadiwanashe Marumani's 51 and contributions from Sean Williams and Sikandar Raza, but Sri Lanka's Dushan Hemantha took key wickets, including those of Marumani and Raza. Earlier in the series, Zimbabwe had leveled by winning the second T20I, marking only their second-ever T20I win over Sri Lanka.
