Opener Pathum Nissanka roared back into form with a blistering 98 off 58 deliveries, powering Sri Lanka to a dominant nine-wicket win over Zimbabwe in a must-win clash of the T20I Tri-series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Tuesday.

Sri Lanka ended a five-match losing streak in Twenty20 Internationals and maintained their hopes of making it to the final by chasing 147 and winning in just 16.2 overs. They will now guarantee their place in the championship game if they defeat Pakistan on Thursday.
