The second game of the three-match ODI series between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe is set to take place on January 8 at The R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The first game of the series was abandoned due to rain after 54 overs, with the first innings completed and rain interrupting play after the first four overs of the second innings. In anticipation of the upcoming match, here are three Zimbabwean players to keep an eye on:

1. Craig Ervine

The team’s captain, Ervine will be eager to lead his team with his impressive batting skills. With 117 ODI matches under his belt, he is a classy batter to watch out for. His ability to play risk-free cricket while maintaining a healthy strike rate makes him a threat to any opposition.

2. Sikandar Raza

Raza has been Zimbabwe’s most important player in recent years, both with the bat and ball. He has single-handedly won numerous games for his team and his experience playing in different franchise leagues around the world makes him a star player. Zimbabwe will be counting on him to deliver an excellent performance in the upcoming match.

3. Richard Ngarava 

Ngarava has been a standout performer for his team with the ball in recent times. His ability to swing the ball early on both ways makes him a threat to any batting lineup. He showcased his skills in the first match by taking two crucial wickets and will be looking to continue his good form in the upcoming game as well.
