Nissanka and Kusal Perera put together 54 off 30 balls for the first wicket.
He then shared a 46-run stand in 43 balls for the second wicket with Kusal Mendis.
Pavan Rathnayake cut loose during the death overs posting 44 off 25 balls with three fours and two sixes.
Veteran leg-spinner Graeme Cremer was the pick of the Zimbabwe bowlers finishing with 2-27.
