Match Highlights
After winning the toss, West Indies opted to field first at Sabina Park, hoping to exploit any early assistance under lights. The decision initially appeared justified as Sri Lanka lost wickets at regular intervals during the first half of their innings. However, the visitors adapted effectively and produced a strong finish that ultimately proved decisive.
Sri Lanka’s innings began cautiously. Pathum Nissanka struggled to accelerate and fell for 7, while captain Kusal Mendis provided early momentum with 31 from just 19 deliveries. His aggressive approach helped Sri Lanka reach 43/2 in the powerplay despite losing two wickets. The dismissal of Mendis shortly after Nissanka’s departure allowed West Indies to gain temporary control.
The pressure increased when Pavan Rathnayake managed only 1 before becoming Shamar Springer’s victim. At 43/3 in 6.3 overs, Sri Lanka were in danger of wasting the platform built during the powerplay. West Indies’ bowlers varied their pace effectively and restricted easy scoring opportunities through the middle overs.
Kamil Mishara then became the anchor around whom the innings was rebuilt. The left-hander played with composure, rotating the strike and ensuring Sri Lanka did not suffer another collapse. Alongside Kamindu Mendis, he added valuable runs while absorbing pressure from Shamar Joseph and Matthew Forde. Kamindu contributed 24 from 20 balls before falling at 88/4 in the 13th over.
That wicket brought Dasun Shanaka to the crease, and the complexion of the match changed dramatically. Sri Lanka had reached 100 in 13.3 overs, but the innings still lacked the acceleration needed for a commanding total. Shanaka immediately shifted momentum with a fearless counterattack against both pace and spin.
The fifth-wicket partnership between Mishara and Shanaka transformed the innings. The pair added 100 runs in just 39 deliveries, one of the defining passages of the contest. Mishara reached an unbeaten 61 from 40 balls, bringing stability to the innings, while Shanaka unleashed a breathtaking assault. His fifty came from only 19 deliveries, and he eventually scored 58 from 24 balls with five fours and four sixes.
West Indies had enjoyed periods of control earlier in the innings, but the death overs belonged entirely to Sri Lanka. Shanaka repeatedly found the boundary, taking advantage of any width or length errors. Sri Lanka surged past 150 in the 17th over and closed on a formidable 194/6. Shamar Joseph finished with 3 wickets, while Matthew Forde claimed 2, but neither could prevent the late onslaught.
Chasing 195, West Indies required an aggressive start. Instead, Sri Lanka’s bowlers struck immediately. Shai Hope and Brandon King were both trapped lbw inside the first two overs, reducing the hosts to 9/2. Successful reviews by Sri Lanka confirmed both dismissals and handed the visitors complete early momentum.
Despite the setbacks, Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell launched an impressive counterattack. The pair added 81 runs for the third wicket and briefly placed Sri Lanka under pressure. Powell struck 43 from 26 balls, while Hetmyer contributed 36 from 26. West Indies reached 90/3 by the ninth over and remained firmly in contention.
The match swung decisively at the end of the tenth over. Hetmyer was run out for 36 before Powell departed soon after, leaving West Indies at 91/4. Those back-to-back setbacks removed the two set batters and exposed the middle order to Sri Lanka’s spin attack. From that point onward, the required rate continued to climb.
Wanindu Hasaranga, Dunith Wellalage and Maheesh Theekshana applied sustained pressure through the middle overs. Rutherford, Chase and Shepherd were unable to maintain the scoring rate required. Hasaranga struck three times, including the wicket of Shepherd with his first delivery to the batter. Wellalage removed both Hope and Matthew Forde, while Theekshana accounted for Powell.
West Indies’ lower order attempted to fight back through Akeal Hosein and Shamar Joseph. Hosein struck two sixes during a quick 14 from six balls, and Joseph remained unbeaten on 11 from four deliveries. However, the target had become too steep. Dushmantha Chameera produced an outstanding spell, taking 3 wickets for only 9 runs in 3.1 overs. His disciplined pace bowling ensured there would be no late twist.
