WI vs SL Live Cricket Score

34.1 OUT! TAKEN! That's an excellent catch taken by Shai Hope. You need a lot of composure and reflexes to take that one. Chase bowls it short, pitching it just outside off and turning in sharply. Pathum Nissanka rocks back and looks to tuck it, but misses and wears on his thigh pad. After the ball hit the pad, it bounces up and hits the back of the toe end of the bat. It is just dropping to the left of the batter, and that's when Shai Hope dives to his front, extends his arms and pouches the catch. That's an exceptional take by the skipper of West Indies. 177/3

6.5 OUT! TAKEN! Sri Lanka lose their first wicket, and it's Jayden Seales who finds the breakthrough. The short-ball plan has worked for the Windies. Seales yet again bashes it hard on the length to generate some bounce off the track, angling in, around middle. Kamindu Mendis looks to heave it away, over mid-wicket, but ends up miscuing it off the top edge. The ball balloons toward the deep fine leg region. However, the backward square leg fielder moves to his left, but the keeper, Shai Hope, calls for it, runs a long way backwards and to his right and pouches the catch excellently. Sri Lanka are 22/1 now. 22/1

28 OUT! CAUGHT! Matthew Forde gets the much-needed breakthrough for West Indies, breaking the massive 136-run stand. This is not at all a wicket-taking delivery but the Windies won't mind one bit. A low full toss, on middle and leg, Kusal Mendis' eyes light up as he crouches low to lap it away, but only manages to get a top edge. The ball lobs up in the air wide of short fine, where Alzarri Joseph runs to his right and takes a simple catch. Mendis is absolutely distraught and cannot believe that he has hit that one to the fielder. Sri Lanka are 158/2. 158/2

40.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Roston Chase gets his second wicket and Sri Lanka lose their fourth batter now. Chase tosses it up, fuller, on off, Pavan Rathnayake gets down on one knee and slog sweeps it toward deep mid-wicket, but he gets the height more than the distance. The ball loops to deep mid-wicket and Jayden Seales moves to his right to take the catch. 221/4

48.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Matthew Forde eventually gets his man! He bowls full toss, on middle. Charith Asalanka stays in his crease and looks to go big downtown, but just does not get enough elevation on the shot. It flies towards long on, where Jayden Seales comes forward but then takes a few steps back to reverse cup it around his chest. Sri Lanka are 285/5. 300 is still on for them. 285/5

49.3 OUT! TAKEN! Jayden Seales gets his second wicket. He bangs in a sharp bouncer at 131.1 kph, into the bodyline of the batter. Wanindu Hasaranga looks to pull it away but gets cramped up for room and cannot free his arms fully. He mistimes the shot high in the air towards deep square leg, where Sherfane Rutherford runs in from the ropes and takes a fine catch bending low to his front. 295/6

49.4 OUT! MILAN RATHNAYAKE IS RUN OUT! Two wickets in two balls for the Windies. A slower bumper from Seales, on middle and leg, Milan Rathnayake tries to be cheeky and goes for the reverse scoop but misses. Janith Liyanage, in a bid to retain strike, tries to steal a bye and Milan responds but a bit late. Shai Hope, the keeper, misses his shy at the batter's end as the ball rolls down the pitch. Seales collects it, turns around and hits the stumps at the bowler's end with Milan well short of his crease. Sri Lanka are 295/7 now, but the good thing for them is that Liyanage will be on strike. 295/7

6.1 OUT! RUN OUT! That's a very cheap way to lose a wicket, but nevertheless, the Lankans have capitalized on it. Full-length delivery, on off and middle. John pushes it to the right of the mid on fielder and calls for the single. Janith Liyanage picks it up with his right and underarms it to score a direct hit at the bowler's end. John Campbell drags his bat through the crease, but when the third umpire checks it, he sees that Campbell is a few inches away from the crease. Probably a dive would have helped the batter to stay alive. West Indies are 50 for 1 now. 50/1

9.4 OUT! BOWLED' EM! Maheesh Theekshana purely outfoxes the Greaves here. Theekshana sees the batter making room, so he bowls another quicker one, flat and angling in, down the leg side. Justin Greaves hangs back and tries to cut it, but fails to get the connection, as this is too close to his body for that shot. The ball zips past the outside edge by a thin air and rattles the leg stump. Sri Lanka are 73 for 2 now. 73/2

21 OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, what a take it is from Kamindu Mendis. This is a fuller delivery, angling in, on middle. Keacy Carty flicks it uppishly toward the right of the short mid-wicket fielder. Kamindu Mendis flings himself to his right, extends his right hand and grabs an absolute stunner. A much-needed wicket for Sri Lanka. 125/3

30.5 OUT! TAKEN! Dushmantha Chameera gets the huge wicket of Shai Hope. The change in bowling has worked for the Lankans. Hard length, outside off, and slower too. Shai Hope looks to slap it but fails to control the shot. The ball lobs off the leading edge in the air towards backward point where Pavan Rathnayake takes an easy catch. Hope hangs his head in disappointment at this very soft dismissal. West Indies lose half their side now. 167/5

24.1 OUT! LBW! Another appeal goes round and this time the umpire raises his finger. Wanindu Hasaranga pulls off his iconic celebration, but he needs to wait as Sherfane Rutherford asks for a referral. This is fuller, with some flight to offer, on middle. Sherfane Rutherford gets on his front foot and tries to defend it, but it sneaks past the inside edge and thumps the front pad. The UltraEdge shows no bat involvement, and the Ball Tracking turns three reds. Sri Lanka get their fourth wicket now. 134/4

40.3 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Dushmantha Chameera has all but crushed the hopes of the Windies now. He serves a fireball at 143.3 kph, on middle, gets it to tail back in late. Roston Chase clears his front leg and has a swing across the line. He loses his shape and misses the length completely as it goes through to crash into the stumps. End of a fighting knock from Chase, but it looks like it won't be enough for the hosts. 216/7

39.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Maheesh Theekshana rejoins the attack and breaks the 47-run partnership. Flighted and fuller, on off. Gudakesh Motie looks to loft it over the long off fence, but fails to get the timing right. The ball flies toward the right of Milan Rathnayake, in the long off region and he pouches the catch safely near his chest. 214/6

48.1 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. 258/9

40.5 OUT! TIMBER! Dushmantha Chameera gets his man this time. He goes full and straight again, on middle and off, angles in a bit. Alzarri Joseph takes a couple of steps forward but ends up yorking himself. He tries to clip it across the line, but makes no contact as the ball goes under his bat and rattles into the off pole. Lanka are just two wickets away from the win now. 216/8

49.2 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. 262/10
