Player Of The Match
  • 49.6

    Jayden Seales to Janith Liyanage. Length ball, wide outside off stump deep in crease driving, mis-timed to long on for 2 runs, shy attempt by Campbell. Sri Lanka have posted a strong total after being put in to bat. Pathum Nissanka capitalised on an early reprieve and anchored the innings, while Kusal Mendis played a brilliant knock. Their 136-run partnership laid the platform for a big score, with Janith Liyanage and Charith Asalanka adding valuable contributions in the 40s to push Sri Lanka past 300. West Indies bowled well in the powerplay but failed to make breakthroughs in the middle overs. Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, and Jayden Seales were the pick of the bowlers with two wickets each. The chase is set up nicely. Let's get ready for the chase.

Sri Lanka secure a comfortable victory, delivering a dominant all-round performance.
