49.6 Angelo Mathews to Alzarri Joseph

Angelo Mathews to Alzarri Joseph. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Perera. Ice cold Angelo Mathews kept his nerve at the death to seal a six run victory and a clean sweep for Sri Lanka. This game see-sawed throughout and turned into an absolute thriller. West Indies had a duanting 308 to chase and they were in the hunt all the way with fine knocks from Shai Hope (72), Sunil Ambris (60), Nicholas Pooran (50) and an incendiary cameo from Fabian Allen with a powerful 37 from 15 balls at the end. He holed out with four balls remaining as Mathews put in an unlikely matchwinning ten over shift to finish with 4-59. We move on to the T20I series starting on March 4. Join us then.
