Richard Ngarava (2/46) did what he could with the ball, slowing things down before Chamika Karunaratne (30) chipped in some more runs. Sri Lanka went in at 254/9.
There was no response from Zimbabwe as they were skittled by Sri Lanka, Jeffrey Vandersay (4/10) with phenomenal numbers.
Zimbabwe were all out for 70, Sri Lanka winning by 184 runs and winning the series 2-1.
