Sri Lanka have beaten the West Indies by 91 runs in the Indian Oil Cup.
It was a spinning pitch, and the Caribean team had made 2 changes, Carl Hooper returning from injury, replacing Carlton Baugh, and Dave Mohammed replaced Jermaine Lawson.
Sri Lanka batted first and made 245/7, with 'keeper Kumar Sangakarra making a good century, in setting 246, with Best and Gayle taking 2 wickets each.
In reply, the West Indies had started quite well, Lara and Gayle taking them up to 68-1, after just 11 overs, but it wasn't to last, and they collapsed to 127-6 and from there to 154 all out. Gayle's 48 was the highest score, and the damage had been done by 4 men, Arangalla and Samaraweera with 3 wickets each, and Fernando and Muralitharan, with 2 a peice.
The West Indies and boss Jamee Gray will be dissapointed, as it's his first loss in charge, but with the win against India from the first match under their belts, they will be looking for a finals place.
