Sri Lankan chose to batting first and SL batsmen Nissanka and Mendis have scored 6 runs in the first 2 overs while batting first. Which I didn't like their start.Sri Lanka had given a strong target of 179 in the first match as well, but West Indies achieved that and won. In this match too Sri Lanka is looking to lose, I do not expect them to win this match.The Sri Lankan batsmen have been quick to increase their runs after the first few overs.West Indies bowler Springer took his maiden victory in the last ball of the 10th over off the wicket of Mendis.Currently, 77 runs have been scored. In which Nissanka scored 37 runs in 35 balls and Mendis scored 26 runs in 24 balls.Now let's see how much the Sri Lankan batsmen target and whether West Indies can achieve their target in this match.
West Indies has completely lost their way in this match and will most probably lose this match. Sri Lanka scored 162 runs at Dambulla today and i thought they will lose this match because last time Sri Lanka made over 170 runs and West Indies chased that too. Today the West Indies batting did not click and they are struggling at 40/7. I know most of us won't believe this score but this is what it is.
Dunith Wellalage and Charith Asalanka are among the wicket takers and they took 5 wickets between them and did not let the West Indies team to settle in. West Indies Openers Brandon King and Evin Lewis failed and then the whole team collapsed.
