Windies 'A'

HAMBANTOTA, Sri Lanka, CMC – An impressive century stand for the eighth wicket between Shane Shillingford and Nikita Miller averted an innings defeat but offered little hope of a significant come-back as West Indies A suffered a humiliating 10 wicket loss to Sri Lanka A on the fourth day of their opening four-day “Test” on Tuesday.

Shillingford and Miller spearheaded a tail end rally to reverse a batting slump  before Sri Lanka mopped up remaining  resistance and coasted to an easy target without losing a wicket in the morning session at the Mahinda Rajapaksa Cricket Stadium.
