Time to sign off - That brings us to the end of an entertaining contest and the opening game of the series. Sri Lanka draw first blood and will now have the chance to seal the series in the second ODI, while West Indies will be eager to bounce back and force a decider. The action returns to Sabina Park, Jamaica, on Saturday, June 6, with the match set to begin at 7.30 pm GMT. As always, do join us a little earlier for all the build-up, analysis, and team news. Until then, it's goodbye from us and thank you for your company.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Kusal Mendis wins the award for his excellent knock of 72 runs off 62 balls.
Bowling unit turns the game - Sri Lanka were all over the place in the first Powerplay, conceding a few too many for their liking. However, they got the first breakthrough with a bit of luck, and then Maheesh Theekshana set the tone by removing Greaves, who was starting to look dangerous. There was a period where they struggled to create chances, but Kamindu Mendis’ stunning catch changed the momentum. Wanindu Hasaranga then found his rhythm and controlled things in the middle, and he and Theekshana combined for excellent figures of 3/69 (20 overs). Dushmantha Chameera ended any hopes of a West Indies fightback with a sensational four-wicket haul, which included the big wicket of Shai Hope, while Charith Asalanka wrapped things up to put the icing on the cake.
Visitors set a stiff target - Earlier in the game, Sri Lanka posted a commanding total, courtesy of a massive 136-run partnership between skipper Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka, who was dropped off the very first ball of the innings. Both batters went on to score impressive half-centuries, while useful contributions in the 40s from Charith Asalanka and Janith Liyanage helped propel the hosts beyond the 300-run mark. It was a mixed bowling effort from West Indies, with Jayden Seales, Roston Chase and Matthew Forde sharing six wickets equally. However, Alzarri Joseph and Gudakesh Motie proved expensive and struggled to keep the scoring in check.
Windies come up short - Chasing a massive total at this ground, West Indies got off to a flying start, reaching 50 inside six overs before John Campbell was run out. Justin Greaves kept the momentum going but fell late in the Powerplay, leaving the hosts 75/2 after 10 overs. Skipper Shai Hope then stitched a 52-run stand with Keacy Carty before Kamindu Mendis produced a moment of brilliance to break through. Hope held the innings together but kept losing partners and was dismissed soon after reaching his fifty as the asking rate climbed. Chase fought hard with a 47-run partnership with Gudakesh Motie, but both fell in quick succession. A late cameo from Shamar Joseph entertained the crowd, but the chase ultimately proved too much for the tail.
Sri Lanka strike first - Sri Lanka go 1-0 up in the series and begin their Caribbean tour with a professional performance, marking the start of a new era under head coach Gary Kirsten and captain Kusal Mendis. They were the better side and handled the pressure situations more effectively than the hosts. West Indies had their moments with both bat and ball, but could not capitalise in the decisive stages and will head back to the drawing board, with every defeat now hurting their chances of direct qualification to the 2027 ODI World Cup.

Charith Asalanka To Jayden Seales OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Well, that is it. SRI LANKA WIN BY 41 RUNS! Charith Asalanka gets the final wicket and gets the job done with four deliveries to spare. Flighted and fuller, outside off. Jayden Seales charges down the track to hit big to the leg side, but induces the top edge. The ball balloons toward backward point, where Janith Liyanage runs forward and takes the catch safely.

Dushmantha Chameera To Jayden Seales
Much fuller, on middle, Jayden Seales flicks it to wide long on for a single.
Good news! The light tower is back on now, and we should not be too far from resumption. In fact, we are good to go again.
Oh..no! Looks like the on-field umpires have deemed that the light is not good enough to continue. One of the floodlight towers has gone off, which seems to be the issue here. So, play has been stopped due to BAD LIGHT with just 8 balls remaining. We can see the Sri Lankan players sitting on the ground in a circle, with some of them doing some stretching. Stick with us for further news.

OUT! CASTLED! Make it four for Dushmantha Chameera. He sees the batter shuffling across to cover the stumps. Chameera bowls much fuller, just behind the yorker length at the stumps. Forde opens his stance with an intent to go big regardless of watching the delivery. He ends up looking to flick it, but misses on the inside edge as the ball goes between his legs and rattles the off stump.
