Zimbabwe will be confronted with Sri Lanka in a T20i series of three games, with the first game planned for Wednesday 3 September in the Harare Sports Club.
After a disappointing version in the ODIs, where they struggled with the ball, Zimbabwe will gladly turn things around in the shorter format. Playing for their home crowd, they will try to bring more intention with the bat and get a series of series.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, goes with confidence the T20Is in the T20Is after achieving the ODI series 2-0. Pathum Nissanka was the striking artist in the series and dominated everywhere with the bat. The visitors will strive to carry that momentum ahead. A strong show here will also offer Sri Lanka a timely boost for the Asia Cup 2025.

Draft
The surface at the Harare Sports Club has offered considerable help for Batting, with good Carry who also kept the bowlers interested. Although something was offered for the pacers, the batters generally enjoyed more success. A similar trend is expected in the T20Is, where the pitch probably prefers a stroke game and possibly put the stage for a high scoring game.
