Sri Lanka 155 for 2 (De Silva 78*, Dickwella 41) beat Zimbabwe 154 (Moor 47, Cremer 31*, Gunaratne 3-21) by eight wicketsScorecard and ball-by-ball details Sent in to bat on a green and slightly damp Harare surface, Zimbabwe lasted only 41. Pat McAfee Jersey .3 overs, leaving Sri Lanka a target of 155 that they chased down breezily courtesy Dhananjaya de Silvas unbeaten 78. Easy on the eye and ruthless on anything short or on his pads, de Silva scored his second ODI half-century, and put on 56 for the first wicket with Kusal Perera and 84 for the second with Niroshan Dickwella to steer Sri Lanka home with 153 balls remaining.Given the total they were defending, and the fact that the pitch was easing up as the match wore on, Zimbabwe couldnt afford to give Sri Lankas batsmen any lives. De Silva was the recepient of one off the first ball of the chase, when he nicked Tinashe Panyangara to wicketkeeper Peter Moor only to be reprieved by a no-ball call. The pressure was off Sri Lanka thereafter, with Zimbabwes bowlers sending down a steady stream of loose balls, usually erring on the short side. Perera and Dickwella were both out to pulls, but the shot was also highly productive, bringing Sri Lanka 38 runs off 14 balls, including seven of their fours and the one six of their innings, hit by Kusal Mendis off Graeme Cremers legspin.With the surface offering sideways movement as well as bounce, Upul Tharanga had no second thoughts about choosing to bowl first - it was the 17th time the captain winning the toss had done so in the last 19 matches at the Harare Sports Club - and his seamers took no time making use of the conditions, running through the top order to leave Zimbabwe 50 for 6. They were in danger of falling short of 100 for the fifth time in ODIs against Sri Lanka, but Peter Moor and Graeme Cremer prevented that eventuality with a seventh-wicket partnership of 55.Moor fell for 47, while Cremer, who moved the total past 150 with some help from Donald Tiripano and Tinashe Panyangara, was left stranded on 31. Making his ODI debut, allrounder Asela Gunaratne finished as Sri Lankas most successful bowler, picking up three lower-order wickets with his medium-paced offcutters.The early damage, though, was done by Sri Lankas three frontline seamers. Suranga Lakmal started the top-order procession in the fourth over of the innings, hitting a good length in the corridor and letting the pitch do the rest as Brian Chari and Craig Ervine poked uncertainly and nicked to the slip cordon. Nuwan Kulasekara, returning to Sri Lankas line-up for the first time since January, then got one to stop on Sikandar Raza, who flicked in the air to short midwicket, before Sean Williams threw his wicket away to spin, jumping out to left-arm spinner Sachith Pathirana, slogging, and missing the line of one that went with the angle from around the wicket.Nuwan Pradeep, the third seamer, struck the next two blows, straightening one just enough to get Chamu Chibhabha lbw playing across the line, and then, in his next over, moving it a little further to get a leaden-footed Elton Chigumbura caught behind. Zimbabwe had lost six wickets in just 17.1 overs.Moor looked in excellent touch in an aggressive 52-ball innings, striking cleanly and fearlessly whenever anything was in his zone; he hit four effortless sixes, the pick of them a shovel over long-on off Pathirana and a pull off Kulasekara that lifted Zimbabwe past 100. He fell the very next ball, though, caught on the crease by an inducker that hurried past his defensive jab and rapped his front pad in front of middle and leg.Tiripano showed impressive technique for a No. 9 in moving to 19 before going for an ill-advised hoick off Gunaratne that picked out long-on. Gunaratne then spun an offcutter like a fast offbreak to pin his fellow debutant Carl Mumba lbw, before Panyangara, slog-sweeping merrily, hit a four and a six before he was the last man out, miscuing another attempted slog. Watching from the other end, Cremer wouldnt have been too pleased with that shot, or indeed the one Tiripano played to get out. He had batted sensibly and looked in barely any trouble, and would have hoped someone stuck around long enough with him to take Zimbabwe as close to the 50-over mark as possible.

After a first half in which he thought "the lid was on the basket," the Toronto Raptors coach watched his squad mount a second half surge to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91.

CLEVELAND -- With both teams nervously wondering if their teams will make any moves prior to Mondays trade deadline, the Cleveland Indians and Oakland Athletics meet Saturday night at Progressive Field for the second contest of their three-game series.Cleveland won the first game Friday, coming back from a 3-0 deficit to win 5-3. The Indians and As have been subject to lots of trade speculation, and the As speculation took a dramatic turn Friday, when it was announced that left-hander Rich Hill will not make his scheduled start Sunday.Hill, who is having a good year (9-3, 2.25 ERA), hasnt started a game in nearly two weeks. Hills last appearaance came July 17, and he was removed from that game in the first inning because of a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand.Hill had a throwing session Friday to test the finger.Hes better, but its not to the point where we want to run him out there and take the chance of him ripping a layer of skin off and then we lose him for an even longer period of time, manager Bob Melvin said. Hes eager to pitch, but he knows he has to be careful with it.It seems likely Hill will be placed on the disabled list -- perhaps as early as Saturday -- in order to make room for left-hander Dillon Overton, who will be recalled from Triple-A Nashville and will start Saturday.In three starts with the As earlier this season Overton was 1-1 with an 8.40 ERRA. Reggie Wayne Jersey. . In 17 appearances (16 starts) at Nashville, Overton was 10-4 with a 3.21 ERA.The Indians on Saturday start control artist Josh Tomlin. Tomlin is 10-3 with a 3.48 ERA, and leads all American League pitchers with an average of 0.95 walks per nine innings.In two career starts versus the As, Tomlin is 0-2 with a 3.29 ERA. He is prone to giving up home runs. He has allowed 24 this year, easily the most of any Indians pitcher. Only three American League pitchers have allowed more.The Indians are 6-6 since the All-Star break. They are still in first place in the AL Central, but second place Detroit has been closing the gap. The Indians lead in the division, which was as high as 7 1/2 games on July 20, is down to 4 1/2 games.The Indians did make a roster move Friday that affects their bullpen. Jeff Manship, who is one of the Indians most used relievers and has a 3.38 ERA in 37 appearances, was placed on the disabled list with right wrist tendinitis.Hes had it for a while and we felt this was a good time to shut him down for a couple weeks and let his wrist rest, manager Terry Francona said.To replaced Manship on the roster, the Indians activated reliever Zach McAllister, who had been on the disabled list since July 7 with right hip discomfort.
