Rovman Powell:
We are gonna bat first. It looks a very dry wicket, we are also bringing another spinner. Hopefully we can put the runs on the board. We have two changes. They put the conditions in their favour but you still need to play good cricket. I think 140 will be a par total on this surface.

Charith Asalanka:
I would have done the same thing if I had won the toss. Nothing changes; we have to do well in all three departments. Same team. The morale is up and we want to perform like the last game.

Pitch Report ft. Tino Muwayo:
The weather is absolutely glorious. The conditions are perfect. We saw both games being played on pitch no. 6. We are playing on pitch no.4 today. It is very dry. The grass has been cut very low. There are cracks on the good length spot. The ball will turn as the game progresses. 145-150 is what Powell thinks is a good score here and if West Indies can get that then they have a very good chance..

Theekshana to Brandon King, FOUR, King and West Indies are away. 95ks fraction short and not much turn, King opens the bat face and punches it square of the wicket.

Lewis BOWLED !!!!!!!!!!!!
0.4
Theekshana to Lewis, out Bowled!! Lewis stands there in disbelief. He looks at the pitch and stumps before starting the walk back. Theekshana strikes in the very first over. He gets it to drift from round the wicket, Lewis is stuck to the crease and closes the bat face to try and work it into the leg-side, the ball straightens and beats the outside edge before hitting the back thigh, drops down and rolls back onto the stumps. He would have been out LBW had the ball not dislodged the bails.

Lewis b Theekshana 0(1)

N Thushara to Brandon King, SIX, King has picked the bones out of that. 121ks short of length delivery and it sat up nicely, King pulls off the front foot over wide mid-on and the ball lands full on the ad cushions

Wellalage to Brandon King, FOUR, shot! King looks switched on today. Tossed up on off, King sits down and nails the reverse sweep through backward point
