A frankly woeful performance by Zimbabwe U19 in their second U19 World Cup match - a shortened affair set at 34 overs per side - saw them collapse to an 8-wicket loss at the hands of Sri Lanka. Put into bat after Sri Lanka won the toss, Zimbabwe were skittled out for 121, with seven batsmen failing to reach double figures and only a patient 42* by Tino Mutombodzi saving Zim from further humiliation. Charith Jayampathi did most of the damage, taking 4/26 from his 7 overs. From there, victory was simply a formality for Sri Lanka, who knocked off the required runs for the loss of just 2 wickets, with Bhanuka Rajapaksa's 49* leading the way. Nathan Waller's 2/26 was the best from Zimbabwe's bowling figures.

With just the match against New Zealand to play, Zimbabwe now can't qualify for the Super League phase and will instead play in the Plate Championship. Full scorecard for this match below the cut.
Zimbabwe 121 (33.3/34 overs; Mutombodzi 42*, Jayampathi 4/26), Sri Lanka 122/2 (24.2/34 overs; Rajapaksa 49*, Waller 2/26). Sri Lanka U19 win by 8 wickets.
