Match Highlights
West Indies entered the deciding third T20I knowing a victory would secure the series, and captain Shai Hope’s decision to field first reflected confidence in chasing under lights at Sabina Park. The surface offered enough assistance for bowlers who hit disciplined lengths, but it also rewarded attacking strokeplay once batters settled in. That balance shaped the contest from the opening overs.
Sri Lanka’s innings began unevenly as Kusal Mendis fell for five in just the second over when Matthew Forde struck. Although Pathum Nissanka played positively with 26 from 17 balls, the visitors repeatedly lost wickets at crucial stages. West Indies maintained pressure through disciplined bowling changes and prevented Sri Lanka from establishing a dominant partnership during the powerplay, which ended with the tourists at 51 for 3.
The dismissal of Nissanka at 51 triggered further problems. Pavan Rathnayake was trapped lbw by Shamar Joseph on the very next ball, leaving Sri Lanka suddenly exposed. Kamil Mishara attempted to rebuild with a measured 28 from 23 deliveries, but Roston Chase removed him after the drinks break. At 72 for 4 and then 88 for 5, Sri Lanka were struggling to convert starts into substantial contributions.
Kamindu Mendis briefly counterattacked with two sixes in his 20-run innings, yet Akeal Hosein ensured the pressure never disappeared. The West Indies spinners and seamers combined effectively, forcing Sri Lanka to constantly rebuild rather than accelerate. Every time a partnership appeared likely to develop, a wicket interrupted momentum.
The innings changed direction through Dunith Wellalage. Batting lower down the order, he produced Sri Lanka’s most influential knock with 43 from 28 balls. His innings featured six boundaries and a six, helping the visitors recover from a vulnerable position. Wanindu Hasaranga supported him with a brisk 21 from 13 balls as Sri Lanka crossed the 150-run mark in the closing overs.
Despite that late resistance, West Indies finished strongly. Shamar Joseph delivered the decisive spell, removing Wellalage, Maheesh Theekshana, and Dushmantha Chameera during the final over sequence to complete outstanding figures of 5 for 33. Sri Lanka were bowled out for 169 from their full allocation, a competitive total but perhaps slightly below what seemed possible when Wellalage and Hasaranga were attacking late in the innings.
The chase began poorly for the hosts. Shai Hope was dismissed for a duck in the opening over, and Brandon King’s cautious 16 from 20 balls never allowed West Indies to dominate early. Although Shimron Hetmyer injected urgency with 32 from 19 balls, Sri Lanka’s bowlers struck regularly. By the eighth over, West Indies had slipped to 53 for 4 after losing King, Ackeem Auguste, and Hetmyer in quick succession.
Sri Lanka sensed an opportunity as Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana tightened control through the middle overs. Hasaranga was especially effective, conceding only 17 runs from four overs while taking two wickets. Theekshana’s figures of 1 for 26 from four overs further increased pressure, and West Indies reached the halfway point needing a composed rebuilding effort.
That response came through Rovman Powell and Sherfane Rutherford. The pair steadied the innings following the collapse and gradually shifted momentum back toward the home side. Powell’s 33 from 27 balls included three sixes and helped reduce the required rate.
The defining moment arrived after Powell departed at 134 for 5 in the seventeenth over. Rather than allowing Sri Lanka back into the match, Jason Holder produced a remarkable finishing cameo. Holder blasted 21 not out from just five balls, including three sixes, dramatically reducing the equation. His aggression complemented Rutherford’s composure and transformed a tense finish into a successful chase.
