Earlier in the game, Sri Lanka's batting meltdown in Harare! They got bundled out for a paltry 80 runs inside just 18 overs, their second-lowest T20I total and lowest against Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe's bowlers were on a roll, with Brad Evans and Sikandar Raza picking up three wickets and leading the charge. The Lankans never got going, losing wickets at regular intervals. Charith Asalanka and Dasun Shanaka tried to stem the tide, but Zimbabwe's bowlers kept chipping in. In the end, it was a comprehensive collapse for the Lankans. 

After the 10th over, Zimbabwe needed just 25 runs to clinch the victory. However, credit goes to the Lankans' bowlers for making this seemingly straightforward chase a challenging task for the hosts. Maheesh Theekshana escalated the pressure further by claiming another wicket, intensifying the struggle for the visitors. Despite their efforts, things didn't end well for Sri Lanka. If the batters of the side scored 30 runs more than the target, there might be a different ending to this story. But with the result of this encounter, Zimbabwe are back on the track and now, all eyes will be towards the final match of this T20I series.  

The innings got off with a rough start for Zimbabwe. After a couple of blows of boundaries, Tadiwanashe Marumani got hunted by Dushmantha Chameera, setting off a chain reaction of wickets. Dushmantha Chameera made his mark with wickets in his back-to-back overs, injecting fresh excitement into the match. Following the loss of three batters, Ryan Burl and Brian Bennett attempted to stabilize the innings. However, the challenge posed by Sri Lanka was effectively dealt with by Binura Fernando, who eliminated the in-form batter, Bennett, who had scored an impressive 81 in the previous match.  

Zimbabwe staged a remarkable comeback, securing a decisive victory in the second match of the three-match T20I series. Thanks to an outstanding performance from the Chevrons' bowling unit, the batters faced a manageable target of just 81 runs in 20 overs. In contrast, Sri Lankan players approached the game with an aggressive mindset, prioritizing wicket-taking over simply defending the modest target.
