Inn Break
That is all from this game! Some brilliant bowling and fielding from the Sri Lankans have seen them level the series, heading into the third and final T20I of the series. That game will be played on the 7th of March and it begins at 1800 local (2200 GMT). We hope to have your company for that game. Until then, cheers!
Wanindu Hasaranga is named the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He starts by saying that the wicket was slow and he was looking to bowl slowly by not giving too many boundaries. Adds that Akila comes with the new ball and he concentrates more on his line and length. Further says that he looks to keep it simple.
Earlier in the day, after getting to a good start due to the opening pair of Gunathilaka and Nissanka, who stitched a 95-run stand and set the platform for the Sri Lankans, the rest of the Sri Lankan team did not board the train as they collapsed and only added 66 runs in the last 10 overs, while also losing 6 wickets. Bravo was amazing with the ball and also orchestrated a run out which helped them turn the tide in their favor. In the end, it did not matter as the bowling by Sri Lanka has helped them win this game.
It was all about spin in the bowling by Sri Lanka. They were brilliant with the ball and also the changes brought about by Angelo Mathews in the bowling were on point and helped them snare wickets at regular intervals, which helped them apply the pressure on the hosts. Sandakan and Hasaranga were both very miserly with the ball and also snared 3 wickets to their name. Chameera and Akila were in the wickets column too. Only Perera was on the poor side with the ball but overall, Mathews will be a happy skipper with this bowling display.
A very comprehensive win for the Sri Lankans. They did lose their way towards the end, with the blade in hand but their bowling effort has been top-notch and they have done well to level the series now, with the final T20I to go. West Indies never got going with the bat. They lost a wicket early and Gayle and Simmons did well to steady things slightly. But once Gayle fell, the procession began. None of the batters were able to deal with the bowling of the visitors and they folded like a pack of cards. Pollard was present towards the end, but once he fell, the result was certainly in favor of Sri Lanka and they have won this game by 43 runs.

Lakshan Sandakan To Kieron Pollard OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Sri Lanka gets the big wicket of Pollard and now, is that the game for the West Indies? He had to look for the big shots as the pressure was mounting and he perishes in the process. Good bowling from Lakshan. He bowls it full and wide outside off, Pollard reaches out and looks to go big over the deep point region. Dinesh Chandimal does well to run in and takes a very good catch.

Dushmantha Chameera To Fabian Allen
NOT OUT! A good review taken by West Indies and Fabian survives. On a good length around off and middle this time, Allen looks to flick this one to the leg side but he misses and gets rapped on the pad. An appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Allen comes across, has a quick word with Pollard and takes this one upstairs. Techonology saves him as the wickets are missing. Nevertheless, a wonderful over for the visitors. Only one run and two wickets off this over.
An appeal for lbw! Fabian Allen is the man in question. He has taken the review. Ultra Edge shows there is not involved. Ball Tracker shows that it is missing the leg stump. Allen survives and West Indies retain their review.
Fabian Allen is the new batsman in.

On a shortish length, around off, Bravo looks to flick this one away but only manages a leading edge, which loops up towards the mid-wicket region. Mathews runs in and takes a dolly. The Men in Maroon are down by 5 wickets now and need 96 in 59 balls.
Dushmantha Chameera is back on. 2-0-19-0 are his figures so far.

Akila Dananjaya To Evin Lewis OUT!
OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Akila gets the first wicket for Sri Lanka. Elation for the young man once again. Lewis goes back for a cheap score and the visitors have started off on a bright note. Flighted, around off and middle, Lewis gets on his knees and looks to slog sweep this one away but misses. The ball does not and crashes into the furniture behind. 152 needed in 103 balls.
