Sri Lanka would look to stay alive in the three-match T20I series against the West Indies when the two sides face off in the second T20I match at the Dambulla International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday (October 15). Two-time T20 World Cup champions West Indies won the first game on Sunday by five wickets with five balls to spare.
The stars of the West Indies win were ‘comeback man’ Evin Lewis, who smashed 50 off 28 balls and put on 107 runs in 9.1 overs with opener Brandon King who scored 63 off 33 balls. The Windies needed 180 to win but eased to the target thanks to the superb opening partnership.
For Sri Lanka, in-form batter Kamindu Mendis scored a brilliant fifty – 51 of 40 balls with 2 sixes and 5 fours while skipper Charith Asalanka notched up 59 off 35 balls with 9 fours. West Indies skipper Rovman Powell will be hoping for a better bowling show from his players to help restrict the home side to a more modest total and seal the series for his team with a second successive win.
