This is only the third time Zimbabwe have defeated Sri Lanka in a T20I. This win not only helps their net run rate and puts them at the top of the points table, but will also give them a huge confidence boost going forward. Remember, the ICC Men's T20I World Cup 2026 is less than 100 days away and unlike the last time, the Chevrons have qualified for it.

Sikandar Raza (POTM and Zimbabwe captain): "(On the energy he exhibited in the field) I think I need to do it all the time. As a captain, you need to lead from the front. Once you see the captain doing these good things, you want to follow them. We have a young squad too. When the chips are down, you want to do the dirty work as the senior guy and the captain. I just try to insert myself in those situations and do the right things. Hopefully, others will follow.
(On what pleased him more ā batting or bowling) Neither, it is rather the fact that we are heading in the right direction with the vision. We want to take the country forward to a brighter future.
This win puts us in a good position to get to the finals. We were clinical for the most part. 90% of the time. But there were a few areas where we could have been better. I'll talk about them in the change room. Sri Lanka are a fantastic side. One bad game does not make them a bad side."

Dasun Shanaka (Sri Lanka Captain): "To be honest, the intent just wasnāt there from the start. Credit to the Zimbabwe bowlers, as they hit the right lengths, mixed it up beautifully, and kept us under pressure throughout. But with the experience we have, we shouldāve started better. If we had shown intent early and avoided losing wickets in clusters, we couldāve put up a much stronger performance.
Getting bowled out for 95 on a wicket this good is simply unacceptable, especially with the kind of players we have, as most of them have played 50-plus matches. These are the conditions where we should be maximizing our batting, and we failed to do that today. Hopefully, with another game coming up soon, we can bounce back quickly and perform the way we know we can.
About Sanath - yes, he will definitely have some strong words. Heās a legend of the game, he knows these situations inside out, and he understands how to handle players. Heās been giving us a lot of confidence, and itās disappointing that we couldnāt deliver. But weāll learn from this and come back stronger."
