Openers Niroshan Dickwella and Danushka Gunathilaka hit centuries to help Sri Lanka beat Zimbabwe by eight wickets in the third ODI yesterday.
Chasing 311 for victory, the hosts rode on a 229-run opening stand between Dickwella (102, 14x4s) and Gunathilaka (116, 15x4s, 1x6) to canter home in 47.2 overs and earn a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. The left-handed batting duo got their maiden ODI tons to overshadow Zimbabwe opener Hamilton Masakadza's sparkling 111 in the visitors' 310-8 after being put into bat first.
"The way Dickwella and Gunathilaka batted, we could've chased 350," Sri Lanka skipper Angelo Mathews said.
