South Africa Vs Sri Lanka 26/07/2013 - Results, Review and Statistical Highlights

The 3rd ODI of the Dialog Cup between South Africa and Sri Lanka held on 26/07/2013 kicked off with SA winning the toss and electing to bat first.  The Proteas needed a win desperately if they needed to remain  in contention of winning the tournament.  SL on the other hand were comfortable with a 2-0 lead before the match and were looking to go all out to try and win the series.  To know more about how the match exactly turned out to be, Read on for the complete South Africa Vs Sri Lanka 26/07/2013 Results along with the batting and bowling performance review, scorecard and Statistical Highlights of the match.

Statistical Highlights

SA's batting was once again shaky as they lost too many wickets too early.  At one stage they were at a score of 100/5 but a partnership between AB De Villiers and David Miller got them right back into the match.  Miller who was the best highlights of their innings was exceptional as he kept on going with his aggression even after the Proteas had lost the wicket of De Villiers.  He contributed a score of 85 of just 72 balls to really push their score to 223/7 in 50 overs.  As far as SL's bowling was concerned Ajantha Mendis and Thisara Perera were exceptional as they picked up 3 and 2 wickets respectively.

Just like the Proteas, The Lankans struggled with their batting and never looked like they were going to threaten the target until Thisara Perera came into bat.  He single-handedly got them right back into the match after he scored 35 runs of just one over of Robin Peterson.  Unfortunately after he got out for a score of 65, SL lost a lot of wickets in a jiffy as their innings ended at a score of 165.  SA's bowling feature was Lonwabo Tsotsobe and Farhan Behardien who picked up 4 and 3 wickets respectively.  Lets now take a closer look at the scorecard of the match.

India Vs Zimbabwe 26/07/2013 - Results, Review and Statistical Highlights

The Second ODI of the Celkon Mobile Cup between India and Zimbabwe on 26/07/2013 kicked off with Zim winning the toss and electing to bowl first.  The conditions favored the bowlers early on so it was a good decision by the Zimbabweans.  Read on for the complete India Vs Zimbabwe 26/07/2013 Results along with the batting and bowling performance review, scorecard and Statistical highlights of the match as it happened today.

Statistical Highlights

When Ind came into bat they struggled throughout and kept losing regular wickets.  At one stage they were at a score of 65/4 but luckily for them it was the day of Shikar Dhawan who was dropped quite a few times and got a lot of lives.  Dhawan capitalised on all the luck he had today as he made a superb century and his partnership with Dinesh Karthik ensured they got a target which was going to be very tough for Zim to reach.  Dhawan and Karthik were the best highlights of their innings making a score of 116 and 69 respectively.  As far Zim's bowling was concerned Brian Vitori was the pick of their bowlers as he took two wickets and gave away very few runs.

Zim's batting kicked off with a lot of promise as they had positive intent and really went after Ind's bowlers.  The best highlights of their batting were Vusi Simbada and Prosper Utsaya who made a score of 55 and 52 not out but unfortunately that was not enough for them to pull a win in their favor.  As far as Ind's bowling was concerned, Jaydev Unadkat who picked up 4 wickets for 41 was their best highlights.  Lets now take a closer look at the scorecard of the match.

India Vs Zimbabwe 24/07/2013 - Results, Review and Statistical Highlights

The first ODI Cricket match of the Celkon Mobile cup between India and Zimbabwe held on 24/07/2013 kicked off with Ind winning the toss and electing to bowl first.  It was a good decision considering the pitch initially was expected to be tough to bat on but was expected to get better during the course of the day.  Read on for the complete India Vs Zimbabwe 24/07/2013 Results along with the batting and bowling performance review and the Statistical highlights of the match as it happened today.

Statistical Highlights

Zim's batting kicked off quite well with both their openers (Vusi Sibanda and Sikandar Raza) applying themselves and giving them a very good opening stand of 72 Runs.  Their run rate however was too slow throughout the innings which resulted in them getting very less runs in comparision to what they should have actually got to try and end the results in their favor.  The best highlights of their batting was Raza who made a score of 82 Runs, Elton Chigumbura did quite well towards the end of their innings scoring 43 (34) to help them really push their target towards the score of 228 which didn't look too challenging for Ind.  As far as Ind's bowling was concerned Amit Mishra did quite well picking up 3 wickets.

Ind's batting had a stuttery start as they lost their openers relatively early.  Virat Kohli and Ambati Rayudu's partnership however ensured that the win didn't slip away from them as they made a score of 115 and 63 Not Out respectively.  Kohli was undoubtedly the best highlights of their batting after making a century while Prosper Utseya was the best bowler for Zim as he was pretty confident to pick up 2 wickets and was pretty economical.  Have a look at the complete India Vs Zimbabwe 24/07/2013 Results (Scorecard) of how each the players fared below.
