Sri Lanka's opening batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan and Upul Tharanga set a new highest opening partnership (282) in the World Cup when they passed 194 against Zimbabwe in a Group A match.
Tharanga was eventually out for 133, caught by Elton Chigumbura off Chris Mpofu in the 45th over and Dilshan, on 144, followed shortly afterwards, caught by Tinashe Panyangara off Prosper Utseya.
The pair sailed past the previous World Cup best for the first wicket of 194 made by Pakistan’s Saeed Anwar and Wajahatullah Wasti against New Zealand in Manchester in 1999.
