...Stay tuned for the Presentation...

Just the two batters managed to score above 10, Pooran and Hetmyer. That is not what you need chasing a big total. They needed more contributions from the likes of Gayle, Lewis, Pollard and Russell but the 4 just contributed for 11. That has been the story though so far for the Windies, their batting has let them down in this tournament and in this game, they were quite under par in all departments.

It was the batters who did the job earlier on, the likes of Nissanka, Asalanka and a cameo from Shanaka took them close to 200. The bowlers then continued the momentum, they got two early as Fernando was brilliant with the new ball. Then there was a quick fire stand between Chase and Pooran but once the former fell after the Powerplay, the Lankan spinners squeezed the runs. The run rate needed was always increasing and everytime Windies looked to break the shackles, they lost a wicket. Except for Theekshana, every body had a wicket atleast but the spinners were very economical.

Quite a convincing win for Lanka in the end and that ends the hopes of the Windies for making it through to the semis. The chance for them going through was very slim but it is now all over. Sri Lanka on the other hand, end their tournament on a high.

15.2 overs (0 Run) OUT! TAKEN! The height is fine and Holder now has to walk back! He should have put that away! Shanaka gets a wicket of a full toss. It is on middle, he looks to heave it but it goes off the splice of the bat towards deep mid-wicket. The fielder runs in and takes it with a slide. Holder feels it is a no ball. The umpires take it upstairs with the soft signal being OUT! Replays show it is below the waist height. Six and out then for Holder.

Dwayne Bravo comes in at number 9.

The umpires are checking for a No Ball for height. Was it above waist height? If not, then it's another nail in the Windies coffin. The third umpire is satisfied with the height and deems the catch to be a fair one. OUT!

15.2 overs (1 Run) WIDE! Pressure getting to Shanaka. This is down the leg side. Holder looks to flick but misses. Wided.

15.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! WHACK! That is just the start the Windies needed. 74 in 29 now. They need to make this over a huge one. This is right in the slot. Full and on middle, it is lofted nicely down the ground and over the fence.
