00:00hello everyone and welcome to the highlights of this tri-series the silicon mobile cup coming to
00:26you from Trinidad yes that's right the Port of Spain and it's the Queen's Park Oval it is the hosts the
00:32West Indies taking on Sri Lanka it's a crucial match as I say match five and well the Sri Lankans
00:40they need a win but if the West Indies win they'll get through now surface little tinge of the green
00:45and that's typical of Queen's Park Oval toss went the way of the West Indies Hyron Pollard is captain
00:52and they won the toss and they wanted to bowl first did the West Indies they had a few changes
00:57did the home side and in fact they had three of them Ramdon the keeper was out Bravo the skipper
01:02Dwayne Bravo this he was suspended for slow over eight and soon on Orion had an injury so in came
01:07Lyndall Simmons Jason Holder and Devin Smith so it's a few changes there and the balance of the
01:13side changes because Johnson Charles as you can see there he was gonna throw the keeping gloves on
01:18with Ramdon out of the side there but Sammy you've got to hold a roach and best and then with the
01:26Sri Lankans and a few changes to them as well but I'm gonna hear it out a runga he went in and crucial
01:32Prera he was left out and Jiva Mendes came into the side so a couple of changes for the tourists but
01:40wonderful bowling and very very good balance side there that Sri Lankans all right let's pick up the
01:48action with commentators Arun Lal and Tony Cozy
01:55in my roach I mentioned that the matches have been inconsistent so is he he's been good on occasions
02:03in fact in the course of one innings he's proved to be excellent at the beginning and then as you
02:09saw against India towards the end give away a lot of runs a lot of boundaries off him as India went on
02:16to that massive score of three hundred and eleven in the match here on Friday so the West Indies will
02:23have to depend on him to be more consistent he is their leading bowler has established himself as the
02:30spearhead of the attack over the past year year and a half and the Jaya Wadner of course
02:37one of the outstanding players in contemporary cricket and has been around for so long and consistent
02:44well before down the lakeside and to the boundary ill directed from roach strained on the lakeside as he so
02:58often did in friday's match against India
03:00short wide for roach has been disappointing
03:12yeah he's got to pitch it up you can't keep bowling short like that he's already been put away for two boundaries
03:21well Johnson Charles with the era having come into the match in place of Dennis Ramdin thick edge to his left
03:44the one delivery we pulled up got him to make him where he was just too late on it
03:55beautifully taken Darren Bravo we've commented on Darren Bravo's improved feeling over the past year or so and that
04:12was a stupendous catch hold against the wicked the dangerous surrender goes it's 19 for one again
04:20playing away from the body the front foot not to the pitch of it there is that extra bounce and that
04:26is a spectacular take magnificently done by Darren Bravo that was traveling a holder gets the breakthrough
04:34that miss didn't cost them too much the danger of Thuranga is gone it's 19 for one and Thuranga has gone
04:41for seven so the early loss of Thuranga brings together Sri Lanka's two eminent batsmen of the present era
04:57Kumar Sankakara now joins Mahila Jayawadna
05:01Roach continues
05:04in the air and taken
05:11they're gonna check the no ball now
05:17yes he's been given out so
05:27one angle showed that there was something behind the line so this is a big blow a huge one in fact
05:34Jaiwardana gone he got the top edge he also played a little early got the top edge and then went off the
05:42helmet take a look at this top edge helmet and an easy take at points so big one for the West Indies
05:52is Jaiwardana gone it's 19 for two
05:59so Jaiwardana out Chandimal now comes in the West Indies bowler is just getting something out of this pitch
06:06another no ball now this will be another free hit
06:13now he'll bowl a wide the week he lets it go by and it's uh gone for four and therefore
06:29it counts as five wide you still have to bowl the free hit delivery
06:33and a miss field second time we've seen Tino best miss field at mid-off gives a batsman a single
06:45what a cracker that is the perfect delivery hitting the top of all
06:58some superb deliveries have been going this morning in an amounts one or two loose ones
07:05and the West Indies here are starting well check back into Chandimal but poor short play though
07:14I've seen extra bounce we've seen the ball in the favor of the fast bowlers and the batsman needs to
07:23show a little bit more application than that Chandimal gone for two Sri Lanka are 29 for three
07:29Lahiru Taramana is the new batsman someone has got to show application here for Sri Lanka Russell
07:42Arnold one of the reasons I asked you the question at the start of play about whether Sri Lanka were mentally
07:48ready for the surface someone has to be brave on a pitch with this type of bounce mentally as well
07:56as technically you have to adapt you certainly have to and shots like this very early in the innings
08:04will only bring about your downfall a good land maybe a flat track when it just comes on to the bat
08:14you could hope to hit through the line but seen a few bad shots top shot you have to wait for the ball
08:26to come into your zone and Thirimanag does just that a lot not giving up
08:34the ball out is very very quick force the ground he's a big man but he's got very good leg speed
08:46brilliant work every runs gonna matter
09:01so after 19 overs Sri Lanka who were put into bat by the West Indies are sixty for three the news is
09:17that we've we're having showers here at Queen's Park over in Trinidad such a battle between bat and ball and
09:29obviously the West Indies absolutely on top at this stage sixty for three and nineteen
09:33we have plenty of rain yesterday of course which interrupted play after 19 overs with Sri Lanka sixty
09:43for three having been sent in we did have rain rain this morning as well but they will be starting
09:49in just about five minutes time and here are the revised conditions the match now will be 45 overs
09:57aside down from the first allocation of 50 the mandatory mandatory power play nine overs well they have gone
10:06the batting power play five overs and bowlers may bowl a maximum of nine overs
10:13oh that is brilliant took him by surprise Sammy has been bowling it on a length and suddenly stepped out to him
10:25and smashed it past him for four so they have actually now signaled their intent
10:35well before well struck well that's probably the first boundary from Sammy suddenly things are opening up for a Sri Lanka it's a new day is new intent wicked which we felt should have had a little bit of moisture but
10:42it's pretty dry and playing well for the batsman
10:56it's a new day his new intent wicket which we felt should have had a little
11:04bit of moisture but it's pretty dry and playing well for the batsman he's gone
11:13to him one right through and quicker one from Samuels breaks upon the ship
11:22he was through him even before he could get the bat down well he has this ability to surprise you with
11:29that quicker one yeah it was just too quickly on him and he should have been on the front foot as
11:34well maybe rather than the bat came down it was almost through inside edge and bustled the
11:41tiramane gone 23 of 73 it's now 93 for four so the captain comes in now Angela Matthews
11:53100th one day international for Matthews
12:08he said are really well he's got it right on to that and it's gone for six that's a remarkable
12:13shot from Matthews only just come in and put it right over the boundary pivoted around with it
12:25helped it ready on its way and it cleared the ropes well he's taking it easy Ralphie the other day ran on
12:37and hurt his hamstring he's on the field because his mates have just got the covers on so not good news
12:45here the showers that we were fearing have come it's much heavier now and the players know just taking
13:02the field as we settle in for what we hope it will be rain free session and welcome Aaron Lall thanks
13:12dude this is not been easy for Sri Lanka started with a 50 over game was cut down to 45 and now
13:19it's been cut down to 41 a side so they've played their 32 and we'll have to play nine overs more
13:28and that's well hit straight back from where it came
13:47you sit that well it's high it's hard and clears the boundary easily six to Angela Matthews that's good
13:57batting the off spinner is going to be coming into him when he finds the length he's gone at it hard
14:03even though there is a deep fielder there at long gone please cleared him with ease he got a lot of
14:09elevation on that one well struck too long signals the power play there are just two power play overs
14:21remaining Kimah Roach has come back into the attack taking over from Jason Holder impressive figures two for 19 from
14:34seven let's pitch the ball up today it's all nice and straight good length all too many short pitch deliveries
14:44that's in the air and caught Kevin Smith
14:50well that was on the cards because the three field is outside the 30 yards were all on the leg side and
14:58this is expected that he's going to try and go over the offside field withdrew but he followed him rose that
15:06was clever didn't give him any space just went for his pads and eventually couldn't get the elevation that
15:13he wanted Angela Matthews so Roach has a wicked an important one because Matthews was was batting
15:19well 30 of just 27 it's now 139 for five even then this is a new batsman
15:32well he's giving him out
15:41went a long way across Mendes
15:46major long reckons he got a piece of bat on that he bounced seemed to fend at it and off he goes well the
15:58ball was fair distance from his body so if there's any sound it's got to be for off the bat but he's
16:08got it he's got the appeal in his favor so that's another wicked for him in this over four wickets for
16:14Roach Mendes gone for eight and after 35 it's 147 for six
16:20quite get hold of it but enough to complete the single and that's 54 Kumar Sangakkara number 76
16:41he's been doing battle from yesterday 50 of 76 he's come with a very positive mindset today and that's paid
16:51dividends now he got school gets all of that one and that six as easy as you please
17:03that's hooked away beautifully six well power play overs have been done and dusted but yet you don't have
17:20a deep fine leg or a square leg there's no need for a short delivery for this kind of a field we have
17:26a fine leg up you don't want to be pitching it short it's beautifully hit as well infield doesn't bother to
17:39move and this is around the time when the West Indies went all over the place against India and started to
17:48get hammered this is a really good shot from Kumar Sangakkara quite inexplicable this was a real hit me ball
17:58pick one misses and chance that it may go all the way for four and it does ends up five overthrows
18:13that's not very clever from Pollard just a single they're only three or four overs this is the last
18:23three or four overs you can't be throwing it like a rocket even though he was in line of getting him
18:29out but you've just got to have one eye on who's covering it at the end invaluable runs for Sri Lanka these
18:38that's nicked thick edge don't know how much of a chance Johnson Charles would have had there sounding
18:51like a very thick Nick as well it hit the top half of the glove
18:59one to take and that's just beautifully hit away got into good position over cover four more for Kulasekara
19:16that's in the air that's very high in the air fielder's getting under it and he takes it bravo it is
19:22that's very high that's very high for Kulasekara an hour to Hanna and to Kulasekara it is
19:35good for Kulasekara to be treating Shilter the putt in the air fielder's getting under it and he's
19:39calling for it all the time and he takes it comfortably in the end another wicket for Jason Holder
19:45Kulasekara departs for 14 Sri Lanka 2-0 1-4-7
19:51top edge and that will go for four
20:00last ball
20:10that's high
20:11it's coming in for it bravo and takes a catch
20:14that ends the Sri Lankan innings 219 for it
20:24has done a good job in compiling it and this is how the last wicket fell
20:30well he had very few options it was short he had to go after it bravo safe two catches for him
20:40Senanika has played a good hand at the end there getting seven of six churning the strike over keep
20:47kept the scoreboard churning and seven overs for 80 runs is what they managed in the last seven
20:57Senanika went for seven of six two hundred and nineteen for eight is what Sri Lanka have garnered in their 41 overs and
21:04and largely due to this man got 90 of 95 and stayed not out
21:11sri lankan yes on again off again this match and thanks by and large to Kumarsengahkarra 90 from 95 the skipper come in and got 30 from 27 to the mana you've got 23 from 73 hung in there with sangha krabber look at the extras second top score extras with 31 to 19 for eight from 41 overs
21:37The bowling, well, it was Sakima Roche.
21:39Eight overs, two maidens, four foot, 27 with a standout.
21:42Young Holder got two foot, 50.
21:44And Samuel's got a wicket, so did Pollard.
21:46But you look at Sammy there, very good.
21:48Nine overs, two maidens.
21:49He got none for 24.
21:51So he kept the runs down.
21:53And Bess, well, he went around the track a little bit.
21:55Six overs, no maidens, none for 42.
21:57He's a little bit off song, but by and large,
22:00too many wides and too many no balls.
22:0331 extras.
22:05So then, here's the target.
22:08230 runs.
22:09It's been calculated by Duckworth Lewis Method
22:11at 5.6 runs per over from 41 overs.
22:17Could be a little stiff challenge this
22:18with the pitch that's got a bit of grass about it.
22:22All right, time for a quick break.
22:23And when we come back, it will be the West Indies run chase.
22:29Nuan Kulasekara will take one new ball for Sri Lanka.
22:33Duckworth Lewis has pumped the West Indies target up to 230 to win Jeffrey Dujan.
22:41Chris Gale with that 100 in Jamaica.
22:44Three innings ago will need to give the West Indies a good start.
22:49Yes, well, they always tend to thrive when Gale gets a big score up front.
22:58Gives them a start.
23:00There's Johnson Charles as well, who's been quite consistent of late.
23:04Showed a bit of maturity in his batting.
23:07Let's go, let's go, let's go!
23:09It's a responsibility.
23:11So, we'll see what happens as Kulasekara comes in.
23:16That's a good, healthy toppage.
23:28And brings him four runs.
23:31Well, that is Johnson Charles.
23:40We've seen him play this shot a number of times.
23:43He'll come into that zone.
23:45It's coming on to the bat.
23:46And it'll go wide of mid-wicket.
23:50Just like that.
23:54It's nowhere close to him.
23:55Look at it, folks.
23:55Look at the length.
23:56It's nowhere close to him.
23:57It goes through the line of the ball, and you almost feel that you need the fine leg to come into a forward square leg, a deep forward square position.
24:10And that's put down.
24:17To have done him a little damage as well, Kulasekara.
24:22Not quite sure.
24:23Just caught him on the head, the end of that finger.
24:30Maybe a dislocation.
24:31Let's hope not.
24:33Just holding on to it.
24:37Not quite see.
24:38Let's see if we can pick something up here.
24:40Just struck fairly firmly.
24:41And caught him on the head, on the end of the finger.
24:47Looks as if it might have just busted the nail or...
24:52That must be uncomfortable.
24:55Must be painful.
24:56Oh, it looks like a bit of a dislocation.
25:08The finger itself is split as well.
25:12That's not nice at all.
25:14Yeah, not good stuff from Iranga.
25:24He's been pretty erratic.
25:26And served up a genuine half volley there that needed to be dispatched and was by Gale.
25:30And he doesn't normally move his feet, Chris Gale.
25:34And he didn't have to for this one.
25:35It was right up there in the slot.
25:39Just dropped that big heavy bat on it.
25:41And away it went.
25:42Iranga is being erratic.
25:54And Gale is taking full toll of that.
25:57This one was up in the slot as well.
26:00And just threw the bat through the line of this.
26:04The left foot doesn't...
26:05The front foot doesn't go anywhere.
26:08Planted.
26:09Wham!
26:12It's in the air and caught.
26:23Yeah!
26:26Very similar type of delivery that has caused Chris Gale's downfall once or twice in this series.
26:35Not caught in the same direction.
26:37But it's on that line just outside the off stump.
26:40Just back of a length.
26:41He forces at it.
26:43And it's a good catch by Iranga.
26:45So Matthews has given his team the breakthrough that they so desired.
26:52Gale goes for 14.
26:53And it's 25 for one.
27:00Devin Smith is the new batsman.
27:03Got him.
27:13Brilliant catch.
27:14Got him.
27:15Brilliant catch.
27:17Charles fell playing the pull shot in the last match.
27:21And he does so again.
27:22And he does so again.
27:22It wasn't quite short enough, I don't think, to play the shot.
27:24So Iranga has tried a number of lengths, tries a shorter one and ends up having to do his own dirty work.
27:36Johnson Charles missed times a pull.
27:37Johnson Charles missed times a pull and Iranga.
27:41Good catch following through.
27:42So West Indies lose the second wicket.
27:45Johnson Charles scores for 14.
27:47Just like Chris Gale.
27:48It's 29 for two.
27:49Marlon Samuels replaces Johnson Charles.
27:59He hasn't gotten the volume of runs that he would have liked in this series.
28:03After the last year for him was good in all forms.
28:10Brilliant catch.
28:12It hasn't worked, Jeffrey.
28:14And after being erratic for so long, Iranga has struck two crucial blows.
28:20But what a catch from Jaa Wardenor.
28:26The ball is shortish delivery to get the wicket before.
28:29This one bounced on Samuels.
28:30Wasn't in control.
28:31And Jaa Wardenor takes a brilliant catch at Slip to get rid of him.
28:38Marlon Samuels fails to score.
28:42West Indies third wicket goes down.
28:45It's 29 for three.
28:53But it's the most serious issue facing Darren Bravo as he comes in.
29:01What we've seen so far just emphasizes how good or not Kumar Sangakara played on the surface.
29:06The new ball is still doing a bit.
29:08He's bounced that in but it's a good corridor.
29:11It's that sort of channel that we were talking about that Iranga has to continue pommeling.
29:17Bounced on him.
29:23That's hit him on the pad and given by the umpire.
29:27Good call.
29:27Initially it was felt as if the ball would have gone on to miss the stumps.
29:33The impact looked on the higher side.
29:35The ball came back.
29:37Hit the batsman in line.
29:39The only question was whether it was going to hit the stumps or not.
29:43Just above the knee roll but pitching in line and straightening down the line.
29:52Devon Smith got his foot across after reading the angle from Angelo Matthews.
29:58Goes without troubling the scorers.
30:00West Indies in deep trouble are 31 for four.
30:03In end looking good for Otis Gibson and his men.
30:1031 for four.
30:13If West Indies get pulled out below 183 then Sri Lanka will earn a bonus point and that will confirm their status as the finalist in this three nations tournament.
30:31Oh he's hit that pretty well.
30:33And that's typical for Lendl Simmons now.
30:39Frees himself for the six.
30:41He will need plenty more of those.
30:45Well this is his game.
30:46This is what we're used to seeing.
30:48Doesn't like to be tied down Lendl Simmons.
30:51He's a clean striker of the ball.
30:58Threw him.
30:59Might just have carried but it was going downwards.
31:03Suppose if you want to call it a catch.
31:04Well if that's the case it's going to be a very very difficult one.
31:08Now did it carry first thing.
31:20And that's going to be wides and five.
31:24We saw several of those in the West Indies innings.
31:27And here you could see that Matthews had just lost his rhythm running in.
31:32He was taking short steps.
31:34And he just misdirected down the leg side.
31:43Brilliant.
31:45That's the way to go.
31:46You need a boundary in over.
31:48One area has got to stay untenanted and that's the one they have to exploit.
31:53That's well hit.
31:54It was a smart shot.
31:58Because there's a mid-off and a long-on.
32:01So he just gave him that room.
32:04Even though it was outside like stump.
32:06The line as it reached him.
32:07Gave himself the room so that he could hit it over mid-off.
32:11Instead of taking on long-on.
32:12Three full tosses in a row.
32:21And he's asking too much.
32:23And I suppose the use of the feet made it into a full toss.
32:29Yes he was anyway that way inclined.
32:32A very aggressive bent of mind.
32:33But he got it in the slot as well.
32:36But he still had to put it away.
32:38That was a good hit.
32:39An effective one.
32:40And he also targeted the area between mid-wicket and mid-on.
32:45Or deep mid-wicket and long-on.
32:46And connected beautifully.
32:58Sangakara not up to it.
33:01Didn't quite collect it.
33:08Squeezed away for four soon.
33:10Getting a little bit of input just into the innings in the last couple of overs here.
33:23This helps.
33:27Simmons is starting to feel confident.
33:29He spent a lot of time at the crease.
33:30And now he's capitalizing on anything loose.
33:35And there is pressure on the bowlers now.
33:37Because they also realize that there's one boundary or two.
33:41Or the big one that they're searching for.
33:42And that puts the pressure.
33:45This is a tremendous hit.
33:47Lovely shot.
33:55Very, very authoritative stroke from Darren Bravo.
33:59Things are beginning to happen.
34:02The crowd's come alive.
34:03It's also built up.
34:05Word's gone around.
34:06The fight is on.
34:11What a lovely shot.
34:12Inside out.
34:12He was waiting for it.
34:14The ball that curls away from the left-hander.
34:17Got it in the slot.
34:21Irangas back into the attack.
34:22He was a little bit haywire early on in his first spell.
34:25He found his direction belatedly.
34:27What can he offer now?
34:28That is big.
34:31That is a greeting for any bowler.
34:35And now this partnership has picked up real pace.
34:41Dan must have taken him by surprise.
34:43He couldn't have expected anything like this.
34:46This is out of the stadium.
34:47It's landed on the roof.
34:53What a sensational hit this is.
34:56Slower delivery to begin.
34:58Almost playing into the hands of Lendl Simmons.
35:01Because he was anyway going to attempt that shot.
35:05Wow.
35:12Is this four?
35:14It is four.
35:18His partnership has now developed significantly.
35:24Wow.
35:25This game has come alive.
35:32What a lot now, the Sri Lankans.
35:35These two have really put their foot down on the accelerator.
35:38He's got a couple of boundaries.
35:39This is very deliberate.
35:41That is magnificent.
35:50It is not easy to strike the ball and the up over.
35:54Long off.
35:56But he's done it brilliantly.
35:58And has brought up a very important half century and return to the West in East team.
36:02He does back a punch this man.
36:06He does back a punch this man.
36:07Lean.
36:08Very athletic Lendl Simmons.
36:10This was a stunning shot.
36:12One thirty-three for four.
36:21One thirty-three for four.
36:21One thirty-three for four.
36:22One thirty-three for four.
36:22Four.
36:23One thirty-three for four.
36:32that's his 50 so he joins his fellow Trinidadian and West Indian
36:39with a half century
36:46unbelievable power
36:53well he's the man who's supposed to control this West Indian innings man to
36:57hold it together and he's done it with a lot of class today sitting deep because
37:03expecting was it Malinga to keep bowling those Yorkers I hope it's not being
37:09sacrilegious but kind of shot the Brian Lauer would play that'll be four loose
37:19delivery full toss on the legs neatly put away by Suns
37:27it's all good to watch Simmons shots all around the wicket not committing
37:34himself keeping that front foot out of the way
37:42that's a good shot that's gone all the way again no it's not just short look as
37:50everyone's heading over the ropes falling just short
37:59very good batting knows his options it off and extra cover in the circle so all he
38:05needs to do is to get it over those two fielders
38:16sliced away for four
38:20everything that someone's doing now brings a smiles to pretty faces in the crowd
38:27it's been worth the wait frustrating with the showers being on and off now plenty to cheer for for everyone because some quality cricket is being played
38:40it's not getting in the way because he knows bowlers will be looking to be full and straight
38:47he's using the pace well
38:50and taken
38:56and taken
38:58for mana down up to backward point latches onto the catch and immediately smiles
39:04turn into grimaces and the West Indies have lost their fifth cricket off the
39:08the last bowl over number 32 a tremendous innings by Randall Simmons the Sri Lankan flags are flying
39:17didn't believe in being full
39:19Samindiranga but this is a brilliant catch because it was flat it was hit hard
39:23and he came running in Tirimana didn't hold back
39:27he knew that this catch can make the difference in this game
39:32but he's been wonderful Simmons 67 of 78 West Indies 154 for 5
39:38it is just sprinkling it's got darker but somehow the ground staff don't seem to be
39:46too concerned they're not active
39:49usually
39:50they'll be
39:52pushing over the uh
39:54the advertising boards to get the covers out quickly
39:58quite blue there that's where comes from over the northern range
40:02in the meantime
40:06Kyron Pollard captain for the day
40:09has come out or should i say captain for two days because this match has gone into the second day
40:15and he is one who has the potential and the strength power
40:19to really carry the west indies onto what they need
40:32well he's uh not been in form at all this series and he goes again just nibbling outside the off stump
40:39disappointment for the crowd disappointment for podard but he just hasn't been
40:43in form i was going to say in touch but he touched that one
40:51feet going nowhere
40:53you've seen that dismissal again the third time this series just as we've seen similar dismissals
40:59with other west indian batsmen again without scoring west indies 154 for six
41:05to get up to what they need they've now lost uh two wickets in the space of five deliveries
41:23over the top and goes for four
41:42starts with the slower ball just sits up for darren bravo who's been very good seeing that ball like a football
41:53it's the batting power play
42:07that's a sky malinger is under it waits for the ball to come down and takes it
42:13so sami goes and you just feel with sami the west indies chances go
42:19but he had to go he had to make the player darren sami and it was very predictable the length when
42:28malinga wanted that slip that he was gonna bowl on a good length extra bounce doing him in
42:37nervous times for malinga but he was very positive about that he wanted that catch
42:41it's a big one it's a big one sami just the three runs west indies 172 for seven
42:52keema roach comes in now he's uh played well in entirely different circumstances to the one he
42:58confronts here last few matches uh
43:07in the air fielder coming in and taking the catch yes
43:12jiva mendes holding on and bravo's innings comes to an end and the west indies still eight
43:19wickets down but still they need 183 if they prevent sri lanka 184 in fact if they prevent
43:25trying to get in the bonus point and that's now touch and go fine innings by bravo not quite uh
43:33enough they left with too much to do he needed a bit of help from another batsman as well but it's
43:39been wonderful innings 70 of 84 west indies 176 for eight
43:45jason holder comes in now and so just two wickets to fall for the west indies but he won't face
43:57roach gets a single down to long on brings holder into the strike
44:06well it was important to get darren bravo playing shots that he generally does not
44:11and in the end holds out but to be fair by him he's done a wonderful job absorb pressure he's turned
44:21it on and given west indies a chance first ball off some gone well i don't know if the west indies
44:31realize that this bonus point may well be crucial in the end and that was just a wild swing by by
44:38holder first ball off stump goes we've heard uh ramiz rajah talking a lot today about thought processes
44:47not much show went into this
44:52the pressure pressure causing lots of mistakes from the west indies batsmen matthews picks up his fourth
44:59first ball duck to hold up 177 for nine
45:02chino best comes in now to join kimar roach now this is a pair which inch the west indies past india
45:13in their first match now 184 is what's required to ensure that shranker don't get a bonus point
45:23so they need another seven runs so if it's the bonus point that's the target then it's a similar
45:31situation the run rate is not an issue unlike against india they to win the match run rate is an issue
45:38if uh you're associated with jason holder shut your eyes now don't look at this
45:57he's a better player than that isn't he yes he's uh certainly he's got a half century or two in first
46:03class cricket
46:11that's a good shot very good shot gets him a boundary
46:19he didn't pick the first ball that he faced from malinga but he certainly did pick this one this
46:23was the slower one hit through the line he's got 95 in a test match
46:39so the western is now have denied shranker the bonus point they're not going to deny him a victory
46:45they've got to get 46.8 balls but at least they've uh ensured that they don't get a bonus point
46:57there he goes and gets a boundary for it it's a fine shot roach has shown us uh certainly in this
47:05series that there's no bug bug with the bats and uh perhaps if he does concentrate he'll be able to get
47:12some useful runs for the west indies in the future
47:21finally we have a winner sri lanka up against it battered first in difficult conditions also with
47:29the rain coming in at different stages really had to fight it out kumar sangakara 19 not out
47:36standing up putting his hand up and giving sri lanka total to bowl at good very good total in fact
47:48in fact uh under the record with this method west indies had to get 230 because sri lanka their innings
47:56was interrupted twice overnight there was 60 for three so under the duck weather is lewis method even though
48:05both teams had 41 overs the west indies had to get 230 not 220 which would have been in normal
48:11circumstances because of the interruptions and the captain leading from the front angelo matthews
48:21useful innings bold well and led the side well
48:25early wickets doing all the damage matthews came into the attack and picked up the wicket of gale
48:35followed it up with smith later charles and samuels didn't last long then that wonderful partnership
48:41which will give west indies some hope for the future showing some class darren bravo and lindel
48:46simmons 70 and 67 each but when simmons got out just fell apart too much to do for the lower order with
48:53kyron pullard not contributing at all throughout the tournament
49:02the setback for sri lanka didn't really cause them any real problem koulosikara being
49:09taken off the field with a split webbing in his finger and will not take any further part
49:14in the tournament after bowling on over and five balls the mana completed the over for him and uh
49:23all the bowlers contributing but none more so than the captain
49:27angela matthews four for 29 from his eight overs
49:31oranga got three for 46 and the west indies only made a fleet of when i say fleeting it was uh slow at the
49:40uh slow at the beginning but then a partnership between darren bravo and simmons encouraged the
49:48crowd to feel well perhaps they would have a chance in the in the game once simmons and bravo went well
49:54then that left the tail end and there was nothing to follow so sri lanka the winners by 39 runs
50:02219 for eight plays 190 for nine of 41 overs each
50:07well to no one's surprise kumar sangakara was named the man of the match for his brilliant
50:17unbeaten 90 which all but put sri lanka through to the final
50:21well that's all we've got time for on the highlights hope you've enjoyed them from
50:24all of us here until next time it's goodbye
