4:43 PM IST Right then, that is it from the fourth game of this Tri-Series and the next game is probably the most crucial game of this series so far. Sri Lanka take on Zimbabwe, looking for revenge and a hope to stay in the competition. However, a win for Zimbabwe will make sure that the Lankans are out of the running for the Final. That game will be played once again here in Rawalpindi on Tuesday, 25 November. The game will begin at 1 pm GMT but as usual, you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Till then, take care and goodbye!

Adds that you need to know that the opposition will have worked on your weaknesses and you need to be on your game every time. Mentions that they will regroup soon and have a chat and feels that there's need to be individual responsibility and they need to play spin well, especially given the fact that the upcoming T20 World Cup is in Asia.
