19.6Joseph to K DharmasenaW
Wicket. OUT! Run Out. Shamar Joseph to Eshan Malinga. Length ball, down leg side backing away flick, Played in the air under control to long on for 1 run, fielded by Hope, by Joseph, fielded by King. That's the end of the first innings, and Sri Lanka have posted a competitive total after electing to bat first. The visitors started positively, but the dismissal of Pathum Nissanka triggered a collapse as they slipped from 43/1 to 65/4, handing the momentum to the hosts. Just when Sri Lanka were in danger of losing their way, Dasun Shanaka and Kamindu Mendis steadied the innings with a crucial partnership. Their stand helped Sri Lanka recover strongly and build a challenging total. Kamindu Mendis led the way with a composed half-century, finishing as the top scorer with 51 runs. For West Indies, Shamar Joseph and Jason Holder were outstanding with the ball, claiming three wickets apiece. Join us for the run chase shortly.
