End of Over No.17 West Indies 158/3 Last Over (9 runs)
Right, that’s all from us, folks. Thanks for giving us company through this West indies tour of Sri Lanka. This is Ankur Dhawan, signing off on behalf of Andrew Fidel Fernando. To relive all the action, hop over to Andrew’s Report which will be in shortly. Kieron Pollard: Pretty satisfied to leave Sri Lankan shores with a victory, we hadn’t won a T20I series in a while. The guys executed nicely, the foundation was laid by Brandon King, the young man is finding his feet in international cricket, Russell finished it off and the bowlers were brilliant. We were trying to make them hit to one side of the park only. (Kusal Perera) He is always looking for the length ball, every time we bowl fuller he tends to miss, our analyst has done a brilliant job, and as I said, it was a total team effort. Lasith Malinga: I think this surface we needed more runs. 150 is enough to fight with on a slow pitch, but Wanindu’s (Hasarnga’s) injury hurt us. We needed early wickets defending 155, we didn’t get those. I feel bowling is not on top because we are not picking up many wickets. In the next 12 games we need to find consistency and confidence. Definitely (fielding has improved), players and support staff putting in a lot of effort and that’s why there is improvement. Andre Russell is the player of the match and the series: I was just trying to get the runs, it was a good team display. We still have some areas to work on but we are peaking at the right time, everyone is in tune. (On ODI series loss) I think when you start off on the wrong foot, you end up playing catch, we have a good ODI side though. Brandon King: It was pleasing, my role as opener is to try and get the team into a good position in the Powerplay. We haven’t done well in the last couple of series so this was very important. The way he (Andre Russell) hits the ball, nobody else in the world can do it. 10.25pmWest Indies take the series two-nil, and they’ve done this at a canter. Sri Lanka needed something special from Lasith Malinga defending what was a modest total against a powerful batting line up, but he was taken for 31 in his first two with Brandon King smacking him for consecutive sixes. He went for 46 in his three, suffering at the hands of Andre Russell towards the end. King made 43 before Lahiru Kumara’s pace accounted for him, and he did rattle the West Indies briefly, greeting Rovman Powell with a blow to the helmet. However, Shimron Hetmyer, who didn’t get to bat in the last match, anchored the chase nicely, and Andre Russell finished things off with some of the most brutal hitting you would ever see. Sri Lanka missed Hasaranga with the ball due to injury but truth be told, they were well short with the bat despite a good recovery.
16.6	6	Mathews to Russell finishes it off in style to seal the match and the series, another monstrous blow, it was slightly short and Russell was eyeing that pull shot, nailed it this time, power and distance and he finishes with an unbeaten 40 in no time SIX


16.5	0	Mathews to Russell no run


16.4	1	Mathews to Hetmyer length on middle again, it isn’t short enough for the pull but he managed to get away to long-on for one 1 run


16.3	0	Mathews to Hetmyer slower one, a bit short, pulled straight to midwicket no run


16.2	1	Mathews to Russell short one, Russell hammers it flat and hard but on the bounce and straight to deep midwicket 1 run


16.1	1	Mathews to Hetmyer length outside off, cut away to the sweeper on the off side to bring Russell back on strike with six to get 1 run

End of Over No.16 West Indies 149/3 Last Over (15 runs)

15.6	6	Malinga to Russell that’s length on middle and asking to be hit, Russell obliges, clears his front leg and clubs it over deep midwicket for another six. Takes a lot of effort to nail that yorker, Malinga did so twice but missed it this time and paid a heavy price SIX


15.5	1	Malinga to Hetmyer full on the pads, Hetmyer calmly clips it to dep square leg for one 1 run


15.4	1	Malinga to Russell another yorker, perfect again, tailing in, Russell makes a little room and squeezes it out again 1 run


15.3	0	Malinga to Russell brilliant response, Malinga nails the yorker, not at his full pace but there’s nothing even Russell can do about it except squeeze it out with great difficulty no run


15.2	6	Malinga to Russell it’s a lovely slower ball outside off but it’s not good enough for Andre Russell, who gets down on one knee, gets under it and muscles it over long-on, where do you bowl to this guy? It has to be a fast, inch-perfect yorker like last match SIX


15.1	1	Malinga to Hetmyer slower ball floated up outside off, drilled to deep cove’s left but only one with Russell not keen on the second even though it was on 1 run

End of Over No.15 West Indies 134/3 Last Over (9 runs)

14.6	6	NLTC Perera to Russell that’s miles into the night sky and deep into the stands, eyes of the fielders following the ball all the way whether in awe or despair, it was in the slot, length around middle and Russell sends it sailing over long-on SIX


14.5	1	NLTC Perera to Hetmyer slower one, full on the pads, clipped to deep square leg for one 1 run


14.4	1	NLTC Perera to Russell full outside off, Russell drags this across the line towards deep midwicket for one 1 run


14.3	0	NLTC Perera to Russell length outside off, a round-armish delivery, Russell swings across the line again but misses again no run


14.2	0	NLTC Perera to Russell slower one, outside off, Russell has an almighty swing but misses no run


14.1	1	NLTC Perera to Hetmyer 1 run

End of Over No.14 West Indies 125/3 Last Over (19 runs)

13.6	6	Kumara to Russell Kumara predictably goes for the short one but it isn’t high enough and even though it was pretty quick Russell hammers it flat and hard over deep midwicket SIX


13.5	6	Kumara to Russell first ball from the big fast bowler and Russell launches this wayyyyy over long-on, to be fair it was in the slot, full around middle, which allowed Russell to get under it SIX


13.4	1	Kumara to Hetmyer slower one, slightly short in length, Hetmyer watches it closely before helping it along the ground to deep square leg 1 run


13.3	0	Kumara to Hetmyer full outside off, pushed into the off side no run


13.2	2	Kumara to Hetmyer fuller this time, Hetmyer flicks it to deep square leg’s right, it’s to Sandakan’s wrong hand and they take him to complete a tight second 2 runs


13.1	4	Kumara to Hetmyer starts with a short one, it is not a bad one but Hetmyer is set and was waiting for that length, slaps it between deep square leg and deep midwicket for four after one bounce FOUR

End of Over No.13 West Indies 106/3 Last Over (10 runs)

12.6	1	Shanaka to Hetmyer full on the pads, tucked away through square leg for one 1 run


12.6	1	Shanaka to Hetmyer 1 wide


12.5	1	Shanaka to Russell length outside off, Russell pushes it into the off side and comes through for a quick single 1 run


12.4	W	Shanaka to Powell that made a cracking sound as it made contact with the bat but it’s a cracking catch on the deep backward square leg fence! It was an innocuous short one on middle, Powell picked it up nicely, Jayasuriya had to take a few steps back as he took the catch – a brilliant effort by itself – after which he tumbled but kept his presence of mind to throw the ball up when he was about to make contact with the boundary skirting having rolled over, to take it again when he wasn’t in contact, although still on the ground OUT R Powell c Jayasuriya b Shanaka 17 (17b 2×4 0x6) SR: 100.00


12.3	1	Shanaka to Hetmyer short and quicker around middle, pulled away to deep square leg for one 1 run


12.2	4	Shanaka to Hetmyer slower one right in the slot, full around middle and leg, Hetmyer clears his front leg and allows his hands to come through and hammer it through midwicket FOUR

With ten nearly equally matched groups, the importance of every game can’t be understated in this tournament. Both sides are expected to emerge out packaged full-strength against each other in what claims to be a cracker of a competition. Contemplating that the 2 sides on newspaper,West Indies are somewhat more power-packed unit whereas Sri Lanka possess the benefit of being a steady side. For this and another above-mentioned motives, we believe the West Indies are far more likely to emerge victorious in what will be among the most crucial experiences for either side.
