DHAKA, Bangladesh — Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bat first against Sri Lanka in Sunday’s fourth match of the Tri-Nation one-day international cricket tournament.

Zimbabwe named an unchanged lineup for the match, knowing a win will guarantee the Africans a spot in the final with a game still in hand.
