Herath’s triple strike rattles Southern Rhodesia top-order


Sri Lanka spinner Rangana Herath captured 3 early wickets to rattle Zimbabwe’s top-order once the hosts conceded a 10-run lead on the third day of their natural event check in national capital on Sunday.
Zimbabwe were left reeling at twenty three for four at lunch with Sean Williams undefeated on one and also the guests leading by simply thirty three runs in their second innings.
Skipper Graeme Cremer gave Southern Rhodesia the lead once his maiden five-wicket haul helped bowl out Sri Lanka for 346, however the visiting batsmen let the tiny advantage slip.
It was Herath’s left-arm spin that undid the fine work from leg-spinner Cremer (5-125), because the veteran bowler took the wickets of Hamilton Masakadza, Tarisai Musakanda and Regis Chakabva.
Off-spinner Dilruwan Perera joined forces to urge the prized wicket of first-innings warrior Craig Ervine for 5 at the stroke of lunch.
Earlier, Cremer bowled nightlong hitter Asela Gunaratne for forty five because the Sri Lankan innings doubled midway through the morning session.
Gunaratne, World Health Organization won't field this match once injuring his hamstring within the initial innings, contend with grit once being born down the card.
He shaped crucial partnerships on the approach, as well as a 48-run eighth-wicket stand with nightlong partner Herath (22) to carry the hosts from a precarious 274-7 on day 2.
Despite needing medical help throughout his 110-ball knock, Gunaratne helped Sri Lanka add fifty three crucial runs to their nightlong score of 293-7.
