00:00West Indies were put into bat against the Sri Lanka and they were under
00:03pressure from early. Alec Athenaeus got a pitch of a delivery from Mahesh
00:07Dixana. Brandon King was next to go on the same score. Not sure what was
00:14going through the mind of Shea Hope. 23 for 3. It was difficult for the
00:18Windies against the spinners on this wicket. Four wickets down and the
00:27craziness continued. The Windies under pressure. This cracking shot from
00:35Shefane Rutherford was sure to release the pressure. Ruston Chase also felt
00:42prey to the spin. The Windies desperately needed a partnership to settle the
00:46innings but Romario Sheppard was not up for the challenge. He didn't watch his
00:51sore runs but when he turned around he saw his bails gone. Playing defensively
00:56did not work either for Alzari Joseph. Spin class in session. Gunakesh Moti
01:01was the saviour alongside Rutherford. This will go away. The boundary for four.
01:08They needed all the luck they could get. That's Apesh. Leona Gate. Leona Gate puts it
01:16down. Rutherford brought up his half century with this pull shot. That is
01:22mammoth and it brings up another half century. He was going after the runs
01:28despite knowing only two batsmen remain. Deep into the field. Will this be the
01:32occasion? Oh drops it again. He got out near the end trying to clear the ropes.
01:37He'd upscored for the Windies with 18. It has not. Jaden Seals was the last wicket to
01:44fall. 189 all out and 36 overs. Moti not out on 50. So the Windies needed to
01:50restrict Sri Lanka early and Alzari Joseph got the breakthrough. Moti was in
01:55the mix again. A sensational delivery to send Kusal Mendes on his way. Joseph
02:00came back to break the partnership between Nishan Mudashkar and Sadeera
02:04Samarikrama. Samarikrama made a 38 as Chase picks up a wicket but the
02:10hosts always looked on top. They lost another wicket but the writing was on
02:15the wall and on the wall marked Sri Lanka win the series 2-0 as they went on
02:20to seal victory by five wickets. Sergio Dufour, TV6 World.
