Sri Lanka thrash West Indies by nine wickets

After winning the third and final Twenty20 International match of the series by nine wickets at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium on Thursday, October 17, Sri Lanka continued their comeback in international cricket with a 2-1 series victory against the West Indies. After choosing to bat first, the West Indies amassed 162/8 because to lower-order contributions from skipper Rovman Powell (37 off 27) and Gudakesh Motie (32 off 15). But, Sri Lanka's top three players turned the chase into a one-sided contest by finishing it in only 18 overs.

With the aid of seven fours and a six, in-form Pathum Nissanka struck 39 off 22 before Motie clean bowled him. Kusal Perera blasted 55 runs without a single out off of just 36, while his opening partner Kusal Mendis stayed undefeated at 68 off 50.
