ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier in Bangladesh: Sri Lanka Women 63 for 3 beat Zimbabwe Women 62 all out

Sri Lanka landed Zimbabwe a seven wicket defeat at the Krira Shikkha Protisthan Stadium in Dhaka on Thursday. Zimbabwe’s campaign in the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifiers started off on a disappointing note win a six wicket loss against the Netherlands on Monday and the loss places them in fourth place of group A, one place about the USA who still have a game in hand.

Is this Zimbabwe’s new batting star of the future?  It is, of course, too early to make predictions.  But when an 18-year-old, twice in less than two weeks, scores centuries that are both more than half his team’s total, scored in a crisis situation and leading to the eventual victory of his team, it is something special.  This is just what Kevin Kasuza, of Mountaineers, has done.
