DAMBULLA, Sri Lanka, CMC – A combined batting and bowling effort by West Indies A propelled them to a commanding 165 run victory over Sri Lanka A in the first unofficial One Day International (ODI) at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium here Tuesday.
Offspinner Jon-Russ Jaggesar , with a career best four wicket haul, led the demolition of Sri Lanka A for 102 in 32.3 overs after Kyle Pope posted a career best 81 and shared in three important partnerships that spurred West Indies A to 267 for six.
New ball pair of Ronsford Beaton who picked up three wickets and Delorn Johnson two, set up the victory with early wickets that ripped the fight out of the home side.
Captain Jason Mohammed and Rovman Powell triggered late momentum by slamming half centuries as West Indies A cruised to a one nil lead in the three match series.
Mohammed’s men resumed the reserve day on 69 for two after rain intervened with the game just 12.5 overs into the innings.
