Taylor's day out

Harare: Continuing its giant-killing spree, host Zimbabwe rode on Brendan Taylor's second ODI century (119 not out, 137 balls, 9x4, 1x6) to pull off a spectacular eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka in an inconsequential match of the cricket tri-series here on Monday.

With both the teams having already made it to the final, Monday's match was of merely academic interest . — PTI
