***Official***West Indies Tour of Sri Lanka- 3 T20Is &3 ODIs- October 2024

[SillyCowCorner1]

Cricket's a game about showing up and seizing the moment. The SL openers came out with the clear intent to wrestle back the momentum. We got too ****y and complacent and tried to experiment with a guy playing his first game of the series to open the bowling in this crucial decider.

So, when Kusal Mendis got to his 50, there was a flashing record alert on CI...he's now scored the most half-centuries for SL in T20Is, surpassin KJP

Now, KJP gets it back

There's the victory. Well played Sri Lanka

Great stuff
Another milestone ticked off this year, a T20 series win vs the West Indies who have beaten top sides in bilaterals , now on to the ODI series

It's nice then the top order comes good. Bit reminiscent of WI in the first game.

On to the ODIs!

No worries man, sometimes emotions get the best of us at times. At the end of the day, it's just a game.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Positives for us in this match: Motie as a floating hitter. That's all

West Indies are building a solid total in the first odi ..240-250 can be a winning score here

How is the pitch behaving?
Anything for the spinners?

It's a slow pitch will get tougher under lights

 

[Silver Silva]

Don't know why Asalanka is finishing his 10 overs before any of the main bowlers

Sunset in Pallekele

I kind of hope this is rained off completely now. Any shortened target with a fresh pitch and a wet ball makes it practically two different matches in one. I don't feel that is a fair contest.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

DLS target: 232 from 222 balls

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Alzarri strikes in his first over, and in comes Kusal Mendis. He cracks a boundary off his first ball..continuing from the 3rd T20i

SL 11-1

Alzarri again with the wicket, Kusal Mendis played his cameo, 13 (8), and now is gone
