Pollard to Siriwardana, FOUR, lovely shot! This guy has all the shots in the book. It was dug in short and on the hips, Siriwardana gets inside the line and pulls it in front of square, for a one bounce four
13.4 -
Rampaul to Dilshan, FOUR, 12th T20I fifty for Dilshan. But he needs to keep going if Sri Lanka have to win this. Charges down the wicket, takes it on the full and smashes it past Mathews at the non-striker's end, no chance for the long-on fielder. He waves his bat to the crowd
11.1 -
Narine to Dilshan, FOUR, wow! That is a tremendous hit. Flighted on the stumps, Dilshan kneels down and switch-hits it over backward point, got it off the meaty part as the ball raced away to the fence. That is a difficult shot to play against Narine
10.5 -
Sammy to Jayasuriya, FOUR, second boundary of the over and the Sri Lankans have kept the asking rate in check. Length delivery just outside off, Jayasuriya drags it from there and muscles it straight down the ground, almost cleaned up the umpire
10.3 -
Sammy to Dilshan, FOUR, lovely shot! It was a calculated hit from Dilshan, saw that mid-off was inside the ring, he just wanted to lift it over him and does so with ease. Picks up a much needed boundary
5.0 -
Jerome Taylor to Jayasuriya, FOUR, now that should release the pressure. Two in two for Jayasuriya. This was short and wide, Jayasuriya pounced onto it, cuts it behind square, splitting short third man and backward point to perfection. Good over for Sri Lanka, 14 came off it
4.5 -
Jerome Taylor to Jayasuriya, FOUR, finally, Jayasuriya opens his account, that should relax those nerves. It was not all that full, Jayasuriya clears his front leg and drives it past the non-striker, well wide of the mid-off fielder
4.1 -
Jerome Taylor to Dilshan, FOUR, once more Taylor concedes a boundary off his first ball, banged in halfway down, Dilshan was into position quickly, transfers his weight onto the back foot and pulls it to deep backward square leg, no chance for Pollard in the deep
2.2 -
Jerome Taylor to K Perera, FOUR, Taylor overcompensates with his length, this is overpitched outside off, Perera lets his hands get there as he tonks it over the leaping extra cover, the ball sped away to the fence
2.1 -
Jerome Taylor to K Perera, FOUR, that almost took the square leg umpire with it. The side angle shows it was well wide though. Short and on the stumps, Perera rocks back and pulls it square of the wicket. That is bread and butter for Perera
0.5 -
Narine to Dilshan, FOUR, short and asking for trouble, Dilshan obliged, he moved deep in the crease and cracked it behind square on the off-side, no chance for the fielder to stop that
15.1 -
Dwayne Bravo to Siriwardana, SIX, not a bad way to start the over. It was a fabulous shot from Siriwardana. The slower one from Bravo, Siriwardana spotted it early and lofts it inside out over extra cover, he got enough wood to clear the fence
8.5 -
Dwayne Bravo to Jayasuriya, SIX, smashed! First six of the innings and a much needed one for Sri Lanka. The slower ball is dropped short, sat up nicely for Jayasuriya, who clubs it over deep square leg
20.0 -
Rampaul to Malinga, out Bowled!! Cleaned 'im up! West Indies win by 23 runs and level the series. Rampaul has his hands aloft in joy and then fist pumps. The Caribbean side move to third place in the T20I rankings with this win. It was full and straight, Malinga makes room and misses the inside out shot over extra cover, the ball crashes into middle-stump. Malinga b Rampaul 2(4)
18.5 -
Dwayne Bravo to N Kulasekara, out Caught by Narine!! Bravo takes off to celebrate in his customary fashion. Sri Lanka are falling apart like nine pins. The short of length delivery was a slower one, Kulasekara went for the pull, got it off the splice of the bat and Narine moves to his left at short third man to take the simplest of catches. N Kulasekara c Narine b Dwayne Bravo 4(6)
18.2 -
Dwayne Bravo to Senanayake, out Caught by Pollard!! Another one bites the dust. Bravo picks his third and once again it is the slower one that foxes the batsman. It was on a length around off, Senanayake looks to mow it over long-on, the pace doesn't allow him to get it off the middle, ends up offering a dolly to Pollard at long-on. Senanayake c Pollard b Dwayne Bravo 3(4)
17.2 -
Narine to Siriwardana, out Stumped!! That might be the final nail in the coffin. The last recognised batsmen for Sri Lanka departs. Narine shows his class in these death overs once again. He saw the batsman give the charge, pushed it through outside off, Siriwardana swung across the line and fails to connect, an easy stumping for Ramdin. Siriwardana st Ramdin b Narine 15(11) [4s-1 6s-1]
16.4 -
Pollard to Kapugedera, out Caught by Charles!! Pollard gets his first wicket. He has deserved this. It was fullish and outside off, Kapugedera makes room to carve it over the off-side, he doesn't middle it and offers a simple catch to Charles at sweeper cover. Kapugedera c Charles b Pollard 2(3)
15.4 -
Dwayne Bravo to Mathews, out Caught by (sub)J Carter!! The crowd are stunned. It is a body blow for Sri Lanka as they have lost their most experienced middle order batsmen. It was full and on the pads, Mathews whips it in the air, doesn't account for the man at deep backward square, Carter once again runs to his right, stays low and holds onto it. Mathews c (sub)J Carter b Dwayne Bravo 5(6)
14.0 -
Rampaul to Dilshan, out Caught by (sub)Holder!! Another good catch. This time by the substitute fielder. This is a big wicket for the West Indies as they have got rid of the set batsman. The slower delivery on middle and leg, Dilshan kneels down and plays the switch-hit, he middled it alright, but the long boundaries didn't take it all the way, Holder at sweeper cover, leaps up and takes it with both hands - very close to the rope. He did well to keep his balance and not to go over the line. Dilshan c (sub)Holder b Rampaul 52(38) [4s-5]
13.1 -
Rampaul to Chandimal, out Caught by (sub)J Carter!! This time Chandimal hits it straight to the fielder. Rampaul strikes in his second spell. It was a low full toss on off, Chandimal sinks low - almost on his knees when he played the hoick, sent it behind square leg, Carter was stationed at deep backward square, keeps his eyes on the ball and snaffles it easily. Chandimal c (sub)J Carter b Rampaul 1(2)
12.5 -
Dwayne Bravo to Jayasuriya, out Caught by A Russell!! What a catch! Russell made it look utterly easy. It was pitched up outside off, Jayasuriya hammers it flat and doesn't bother to keep it down, Russell moves across to his left at long-off, dives forward and pouches it inches from the ground. Throws the ball away in delight. That was hit hard and the ball was travelling, but Russell had it covered all along. Jayasuriya c A Russell b Dwayne Bravo 30(32) [4s-3 6s-1]
2.5 -
Jerome Taylor to K Perera, out Caught by Dwayne Bravo!! Taylor has his man. West Indies needed this wicket as the opening pair have got Sri Lanka off to fliers. It was fullish and outside off, Perera drags the loft to mid-on and finds Bravo, who takes it over his head. The bat turned on impact and hence he couldn't hit it where he wanted. K Perera c Dwayne Bravo b Jerome Taylor 12(11) [4s-2]
