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.

West Indian batsmen doesn't have any sort of protective mechanism against the Lankan spinners. Now they are struggling at 89/9. Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph are at the crease with 4 more overs to go. Dunith Wellalage was simply unplayable, and returned figures of 4-0-9-3. BTW, the surprise was Wanindu Hasaranga. He was expensive, going for 32 runs in his 3 overs. Maheesh Theekshana and Charith Asalanka in the meantime bowled really well and provided good support to Wellalage.

The West Indies team was able to easily win the first match with a target of 180 runs. So today when the Sri Lankan team set a target of 163 runs, almost all of us thought that the West Indies team would win this match as well. But we were all disappointed by West Indies' batting.

The top 4 batsmen of West Indies had a total collection of only 14 runs. The team lost wickets very quickly. The team lost 7 wickets in 10.1 overs. In the first match, West Indies batted brilliantly on this ground. So our expectations were high from West Indies in the second match. However, the series is now tied at 1-1. The result of the series will depend on the last match.
