So, Sri Lanka have booked a place in the final and the last league game of the tournament between Zimbabwe and West Indies becomes a straight shootout. Let's hope we have another cracking contest. Do join us for that game on 25th November at 1300 IST. Until then, it's goodbye and take care!
There were plenty of candidates for this but KUSAL MENDIS has been awarded the MAN OF THE MATCH for his enterprising knock.
WI needed 10 runs in the last over this time and a six from Benn made it 3 in 3 but Pradeep held his nerve to see his side through by a whisker. Sri Lanka will know they got out of jail here but they won't mind it at all, it secures their place in the tri-series final. The game between Zimbabwe and West Indies now becomes a knockout game.
Carlos Brathwaite shared a 45-run stand with Jason Holder but both of them preferred to play the risk free game and eventually ended up leaving it a bit too late. Brathwaite departed to Kulasekara who was impressive with his yorkers. Jason Holder batted through but could not get his team over the line in what was another last over finish for them.
West Indies were cruising in the game thanks to the 148 by Evin Lewis who came out hammering right from the start of the game and it kept them in the hunt. There was not much swing, spin on offer for the Lankans and he along with Charles gave them the perfect start. Wickets did fall to direct hits but he held one end and ensured West Indies had a great platform to push for the win.
Phew! What a game of cricket! Sri Lanka have won the game by a whisker here! Tremendous fight from the Windies though. 659 runs scored but it came down to the last ball to decide the winner, such is the game of cricket at times. West Indies will feel they have not won two games they should have.

Nuwan Pradeep To Jason Holder
THE LANKANS HAVE DONE IT! What a ball from Nuwan Pradeep. Fires a yorker on middle and off, Holder digs it out towards the cover region and can only manage a single. How unfortunate for the Windies, they put up a really good fight. SRI LANKA WIN BY 1 RUN!
SHANNON GABRIEL is the last man in. He won't be on strike though. Can Holder finish with a boundary?

Nuwan Pradeep To Sulieman Benn OUT!
OUT! BENN DEPARTS! Full and outside off, Sulieman Benn hits this flat over covers. He doesn't get the distance on it and it's good catch by Dhananjaya de Silva out in the deep. West Indies need 3 runs off the final delivery.

Nuwan Pradeep To Sulieman Benn
Fires it full and well outside off, Benn looks to squeeze it out on the off side but misses. 3 off 2 now.

Nuwan Pradeep To Sulieman Benn
SIX! Sulieman Benn with a big, big hit. Short of a length on middle and off, Benn makes a little room and pulls this hard. Gets it right off the middle of the bat and sends it miles over the mid-wicket boundary for a maximum. 3 needed off 3 now.

Nuwan Pradeep To Sulieman Benn
Swing and a miss! Back of a length delivery angled across, Sulieman Benn walks down the track and looks to heave it across the line but misses it completely.

Nuwan Pradeep To Jason Holder
Yorker on middle and leg, Holder gets an inside edge down to fine leg as he looks to dig it out. Only a single is taken.

Suranga Lakmal To Jason Holder
Fired in full on the pads, Holder flicks it through to deep square leg and runs hard to come back for the second. He is successful in doing so. Great running between the wickets.

Full on middle and leg, Benn flicks it towards mid-wicket and hares to the other end to complete a quick single.

Suranga Lakmal To Sulieman Benn
FOUR! EDGED AND AWAY! Cutter around off, Sulieman Benn just looks to push it timidly inside the line and ends up getting an edge through the vacant slip cordon. It races away to the third man fence as West Indies now need 15 more to win off 9 deliveries.
SULIEMANN BENN is the new man in.

Suranga Lakmal To Ashley Nurse OUT!
OUT! Was there an edge? Yes, there was. Full ball on leg, Ashley Nurse goes for the big slog but ends up missing it, at least it seems so. It goes behind as the keeper takes it. Sri Lanka appeal for a caught behind and after this, the umpire has a long chat with the square leg umpire. They think hard about it and then the decision goes upstairs. Replays confirm there was an edge and Nurse has to make the long walk back. 19 still required off 10 balls.
Big moment this, the umpire thinks Ashley Nurse is caught behind. It is referred upstairs to confirm the same.

Nuwan Kulasekara To Carlos Brathwaite OUT!
OUT! You miss, I hit, says Kulasekara! Bowls a stump-to-stump line and fires it full on middle, Brathwaite goes for the big slog but misses the ball completely. The stumps are rattled and that's an important wicket for the Lankans. 24 more needed off 16.
