Moratuwa, Sri Lanka - A patient century from Assad Fudadin kept the West Indies A on top on Day 1 of the 3rd and final "Test" against Sri Lanka A at the Tyronne Fernando Stadium.

After winning the toss and opting to bat, the opening pair of Kraigg Brathwaite and Fudadin put on 137 runs. Brathwaite struck 75 from 119 balls, hitting seven boundaries. But Fudadin would be the one to carry on.

The Guyanese left-hander hit 103 from 187 ball, striking 11 boundaries along the way. The Windies A then endured a collapse, falling to 178/5. On a rain-hit Day 1 where only 66 overs were bowled, the Windies A ended the day on 239/6.

Chadwick Walton is unbeaten on 16 while Carlos Brathwaite is with him on 18. Tharindu Kaushal was the pick of Sri Lanka A's bowlers, taking 5-94. Sri Lanka A lead the three match series, 1-0.
