17.5
Pathirana to Roston Chase, out Caught by Kusal Mendis!! Is there a twist in the tale? Slower back of a length delivery outside off, Roston Chase looks to carve it away, gets an outside edge as the keeper takes a good low catch.

Roston Chase c Kusal Mendis b Pathirana 19(16) [4s-1]

Brandon King | PoTM:
My role is to get the team off to a good start. It came out well as it was a good wicket. It's more mental than anything else. Been out for a couple of months, but glad to be back on the field. I think the pitch got better. You had to have a good powerplay while chasing 180. Our role as openers was to get the team off to a good start.

Charith Asalanka | SL captain:
I should give credit to their batters, but I think we could have bowled better in the powerplay. I am experiment, wanted a few overs from Chamindu, it didn't work today. Will try other bowlers in the next match. The plus point is that we are playing good cricket. We have to do well and improve our bowling in the powerplay. That's the main concern as a captain

Rovman Powell | WI captain:
It's important to take an early lead in Sri Lanka. They are an excellent team at home. The toss is always going to be vital. You got to stay on top for as long as possible. I am a captain who believes in individual performances. The other members will gel and help them get over the line. We want players to play their natural game. It's a combination that has worked well for us.

I was trying to check to see when last he made a meaningful contribution with the bat for WI. He did one for Royals in CPL v TKR.

yes...just the one...

He has been simply giving away his wicket for several innings.

check it...most of them "Out Caught".

Roston has developed this half helicopter shot as well that I am not too fond of - I will ask him about it post this series...I am hoping he is aware.
