Pathum Nissanka sent Sri Lanka’s chase screaming out of the blocks, before Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera put on a clinical and unbeaten 106-run stand for the second wicket. For a team that had never before beaten West Indies in a T20I series, this chase was almost too effortless toon believe. Each of the top three produced sparkling innings, as the hosts galloped to the target of 163 with 12 balls remaining, in front of a packed Poya-day crowd in Dambulla.
Brief scores:
Sri Lanka 166 for 1 in 18 overs (Kusal Mendis 68*, Kusal Perera 55*, PathumNissanka 39) beat West Indies 162 for 8 in 20 overs (Rovman Powell 37, Gudakesh Motie 32, Maheesh Theekshana 2-19) by nine wickets
