Sri Lanka vs West Indies Match Stats

Full delivery outside off, Hasaranga plays it towards third man for a single.

Landed outside off, punched straight to the cover fielder.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Oh dear. Sri Lanka are again entering the squandering zone. Not long back, they were favourites to chase this down. Now, this has become a potential thriller. Short and outside off, Udana leaps and looks to ramp it over the vacant slip cordon. But all he manages is a thick outside edge. Shai Hope leaps and completes the formalities. So the equation reads - 28 from 27. But just 2 wickets in hand.

A length ball, down the leg side, flicked through mid-wicket for a run.

Full and around off, driven through mid off for one more.

A length ball, around middle, tucked through square leg for a single. Just 4 runs and a wicket from the over, Paul's figures read 7-0-45-2.

Outside off, dabbed to third man for a single.

FOUR! THUMP! A length ball, around middle, Hasaranga lofts this cleanly down to long on, beating the fielder to his left!

FOUR! Glorious shot! 16 needed from 21 now! Full and outside off, Hasaranga lofts it over cover and gets two boundaries in succession!

Full and outside off, driven through point for a brace.

On middle, pushed down to long on for another single.

Sandakan survives. A bouncer, on middle, Lakshan ducks at the last moment. 12 from the over. Cottrell has gone for 60 in his 9 overs so far.

That has gone off the edge. It could have so easily gone to the fence. Third man is up and Paul bowls a full toss outside off. Hasaranga throws his bat at it but gets a thick outside edge. Luckily for the bowler, it goes on the bounce towards the keeper.

The batsman shows the full face of the bat and defends the ball off the back foot.

Full and outside off, driven straight to point. Three dots!

WIDE. A short ball, outside off, Wanindu leaps and plays the upper cut but misses.

Full on middle, sensibly pushed down to long on for a single.

WIDE! Pressure on the bowler. Loud cheer from the crowd. Full and down the leg side, flick shot missed.

SAFE. Heart-in-mouth moment for Hasaranga, Sri Lankan fans and even Niroshan Dickwella at the boundary. Outside off, Sandakan pushes it towards cover-point and straightaway yells NO. But Hasaranga comes charging in for the single and has to apply the brakes. He has to do a U-turn and puts in a full length dive. The fielder finds the stumps at the bowler's end with his hit and the appeal is referred upstairs. Replays show that the bat went up in the air but got back down just before the throw hit.

Full and outside off, pushed straight to cover.

NOT OUT. Poor fielding. Full and outside off, Hasaranga drives it past the man at cover. The fielder at sweeper takes ever so long to return the throw and the batsmen take the second on that. The throw is a weak one, albeit accurate and the bowler whips the bails off. Appeals and it is referred upstairs. No use. Replays show that Sandakan is well in. 8 needed from 11 balls now.

Full and outside off, driven down to long off for a single.

WIDE. Down the leg side, pull shot missed.

The batsman has played that off the front foot and into the ground.

A short ball, outside off, pulled down to fine leg for a single.

FOUR! SCORES ARE LEVEL NOW! A low full toss, outside off, Hasaranga leans and drives it behind point. The ball races away! 1 needed from 7 balls...

A bouncer, on middle, Hasaranga ducks.

OUT! RUN OUT! Boy, what a time to get a direct hit! A high full toss, around middle, Sandakan works it towards square leg and sets off for the targetted winning run. But Sunil Ambris coolly collects the ball, takes aim and fires a throw at the bowler's end. Scores a bull's eye! Sandakan is well short.

NO BALL! That is the winning run! Does not matter where the ball has gone. It is a high full toss, a beamer, well above waist height, signalled a no ball and pulled over mid-wicket! No need to run because the target has been achieved! SRI LANKA WIN BY 1 WICKET AND 5 BALLS TO SPARE!
