00:00It is a second T20 international between Sri Lanka and the West Indies from the Rangiri
00:15Dambulu Stadium.
00:16A very warm welcome to all of you wherever you are joining us.
00:20Spin bowling option, they've also gone for the unorthodox Nuan Tushar, a very, very interesting.
00:25Yeah, one fourth change for the West Indies, Shea Hope with a slight niggle.
00:28Also they've gone for a leg for leg replacement, Andrew Fletcher, who's got experience in the
00:32LPL.
00:33Nisanker's on strike, here's Joseph, goes full out.
00:48First runs for Nisanker and Sri Lanka, batters move around their crease, they shimmy down
00:55the wicket.
00:56Yeah, Shama Joseph, boundary but it'll be leg buys, got to make a move, Mathur Nisanker
01:03tries to go down the wicket.
01:08He gets it this time, Dhagome 4, giving himself width and slaps it over extra cover.
01:17Top edge, safe, that'll skip away.
01:24Comes again, it's a giddy up that Sri Lanka needed.
01:31Picks it up, in the gap, 4, 21 off 5 balls, Mathur Nisanker on the charge.
01:43Man was behind square, so good position, that's a good shot, see that's the response you would
01:52want for a length delivery, or a delivery of such a length.
02:01Pure timing.
02:08Signature Nisanker, bendy over, 61 for none.
02:17Long on, takes it, that time it's the captain, Rahman Powell, picks up Kusal Mendis.
02:33Just as we said, nothing full can be bought, he does and Kusal Janith Perra flexes it.
02:41Slaps it, over extra cover, finishes the 12th over with a boundary, good batting by Mathur.
02:47That's safe and full.
02:57How close is that, how close is that, yes, Ravindra Vemulsary thinks it's out.
03:04Through the field on the offside, I must tell you that the ground feeling of the best Indies
03:11haven't been at it's best.
03:17Good fielding, but it will get his 50, Pathum Nisanker, 12.50 in his career, he's battered.
03:25That's what he does, gets a boundary.
03:31It's going to be stand and deliver from Pathum Nisanker because he does not want to run.
03:40That's better, gone full, looking to run it down and eventually hitting that off stump.
03:51Positioning again, there's the change of pace and deception, Romario Sheppard continues
04:01to enhance his skill set back end of the innings.
04:06Pace off and he's spotting up, really well taken, great judgement, in the gap, well Sri
04:28Lanka will be happy with their returns, Nisanker and Mendes, very good.
04:34Two wickets for Romario Sheppard, coming at the back end, Springer was expensive but
04:38picked up a wicket, Shamar Joseph and Alzari Joseph, also with one apiece.
04:45Wait, wait, wait, little bit of spin in, and Dunith Vellalaghe are the two that were brought
04:54in.
04:55Held up in the pitch, a little bit of turn fatigue, Scherner.
05:11That was an edge.
05:26Down the ground, good hit, Evan Lewis, first boundary to him, he's off the mark, lucky
05:36that's four, you need luck to go your way, it's an interesting move really, he's on debut,
05:43of course he's been around the national team for a couple of years now, this is his first
05:48T20 international.
05:49Gone by a country mile, I was going to ask you, what the strategy should be for the openers.
05:56Original decision is out, pitching in line, impact in line, wickets hitting.
06:24Absolutely no place to work at all, West Indians like the ball coming on to the back,
06:49It's going to be tough work at the moment, Chilanka all over them.
06:57Pulling off spin to the two left handers, Rutherford finally able to find the boundary,
07:02first in 37 deliveries.
07:07Ball in, Asalanka gets a wicket, another one hander by Asalanka which he's unable to grasp.
07:25This is a little hard I would say.
07:29Ball, that's another one, Asalanka he's got two.
07:48Original decision is out, pitching outside off, impact in line, hitting the wickets.
07:59Huge, that's a rare hit.
08:05Full toss, one bounce for four, turning out to be a rare big over for the West Indies,
08:12they haven't had many of these.
08:16Another one, this time should be taken I think.
08:19Yes, in the deep, he got it completely, miserably wrong.
08:28Down the ground, hit hard, that's four.
08:31Roman Pavel.
08:37This should be the game plan at least for now.
08:41Oh, that's four.
08:45Banuka Rajapaksa couldn't get across.
08:51Big, huge, it's out of here, he picked the wrong one.
08:56Alzari Joseph has done well, 16 runs in the over.
09:04Now is that taken, is that out? Yes it is.
09:07The captain goes.
09:14Pace in the gap, and gets off the mark with the boundary.
09:19It's a good shot by Shama.
09:26Oh, bold aim, that's a cannon delivery, just straightened down the line.
09:29It was more than good enough for Alzari Joseph and Sri Lanka, beating West Indies by 7-3 runs.
09:36Summary, Sri Lanka winning the toss, batting first, 162 for 5.
09:40Nishankar Mendis started the proceedings well, 54 and 26 respectively.
09:44In reply, West Indies bundled out for 89 in 16.1 overs.
09:49Pawel scored 20 and picked out the bowlers.
09:52Belal got 4 overs, 3 wickets, 9 runs in the end.
09:57Sri Lanka winning by 73 runs and leaving the series at 1-0.
