SL vs WI Live Cricket Score

8.2 OUT! Caught! Sandakan strikes and the crowd inside the stadium have found their voice back! A much-needed wicket for Sri Lanka as the partnership between King and Simmons was off to a flier. Once again smart bowling from Sandakan. He bowls it slower and into the surface outside off. King moves inside the off pole and drags his heave from there. It is a googly as well so he plays it against the spin. He cannot get under it and ends up hitting it straight down the throat of long on. Wanindu Hasaranga there makes no mistake and accepts the sitter. 74/1

12.3 OUT! Caught! Pooran holes out! Wanindu strikes in his very first over and the budding stand comes to an end. Shorter just outside off, Pooran loves to pull and looks to pull it in calypso style. He cannot get under it and hits it towards deep mid-wicket. Avishka Fernando comes running in front and to his right. He slides and takes a very good catch. Second wicket of the game and once again it is a spinner. 106/2

15.2 OUT! TIMBER! Malinga brings himself on and shows who is the boss. He sends Russell back to the pavilion. It is a Malinga special from the Sri Lankan T20I skipper. He rolls back the years and bowls a perfect yorker around off. Russell is late to get his bat down and jam it out. He ends up getting a thick inside edge onto the stumps. Russell's cameo comes to an end and Sri Lanka will now dare to dream to restrict the tourists under 200! 145/3

19.2 OUT! Caught! Pollard holes out and Udana has the last laugh. He bowls it full and slightly slower. Pollard looks to go over long on once again but mistimes it this time. The ball goes towards Avishka Fernando in the deep who comes out and takes the catch. 190/4

1.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Taken on the second attempt by Nicholas Pooran. Back of a length ball on middle and off, Fernando looks to slash at it but the ball goes off the outside edge towards Pooran. The ball comes to Pooran above head height. He looks to pouch it but the ball hits his hand and goes up and he then takes it safely. Early breakthrough for the Windies. 16/1

16.3 OUT! KABOOM! That is a gem of a delivery and a top-class comeback from Russell. Bowls a yorker on middle. It is full, fast and straight. Perera fails to jam it out and the stumps are shattered. Russell has probably got the wicket which will help Windies go 1-0 up in the series. 46 needed in 21. 151/7

1.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Sheldon Cottrell takes the catch and Oshane Thomas is on a hat-trick. Length ball wide outside off, Shehan Jayasuriya looks to go hard at it and cuts. The ball flies towards deep backward point where Sheldon Cottrell takes an easy catch. Two huge setbacks for Sri Lanka and Thomas has rocked them here. 16/2

2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Third wicket of the over and Oshane Thomas has turned the match completely in favour of the West Indies. Short of a length delivery down the leg side, Mendis looks to pull but the ball tickles the handle of the bat and goes towards Nicholas Pooran who takes an easy catch. He and Thomas appeal and the umpire raises the finger. This might as well be the game-changing over for the West Indies. 5 runs and 3 wickets off the over. 17/3

4 OUT! In the air... taken! Russell takes an excellent catch! Mathews struggle against Thomas comes to an end and Oshane gets his fourth. This is angled into the batter, it is slightly fuller. Mathews swings but it goes high up in the air towards long on. Russell runs in and takes a very good catch diving forward. Sri Lanka are in big, big trouble here. 156 needed in 16 overs. 41/4

6 OUT! Bowled! 5-wicket haul for Thomas! He has sent half the Lankan side back in the hut. Shanaka will not look at this wicket very fondly. This is not the best of deliveries but the barrage of short deliveries followed by the full ball might have played a big role in it. Full ball on the leg pole, Shanaka gets across a bit too much and looks to flick. He misses and the ball goes onto hit the leg pole. Disastrous Powerplay for Sri Lanka. Yes, they have scored 56 runs but have lost 5 wickets in it. They are 56/5. West Indies at this stage were 58/0. 56/5

15.3 OUT! Crashing into the leg pole! Rovman Powell has got the wicket the visitors so desperately wanted. End of a partnership which got Sri Lanka back into the game from a hopeless position. This is a full toss. Hasaranga shuffles across and looks to whip it but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal follows but the umpire shakes his head. West Indies take the review after some consideration. Replays roll in and they show it to be hitting the leg pole. 54 needed in 27 balls now. 143/6

17.4 OUT! TAKEN! That is probably the final nail in the coffin for Sri Lanka. Powell once again manages to take an important wicket. Perera makes room and RP follows him with a full one on the pads, Perera flicks but does not get the distance. He holes out to Cottrell at deep square leg. Sri Lanka need a miracle from here to win the game. 161/8

18.1 OUT! That is a tremendous catch from the Windies skipper! He leads from the front here. A full toss, a low full toss on middle. Udana does not get it off the middle and it lobs towards long on. Pollard runs in with speed and then dives forward to take it. 168/9

19.1 OUT! Bowled! That is it! Cottrell gets his first wicket and the game's last wicket. He hits the deck hard on middle and off, Malinga looks to pull but misses. Cottrell does not. WEST INDIES WIN BY 25 RUNS! 171/10
