Lanka Beats WI In High-Scoring Game

That’s how the inconsequential league fixture panned out at the picturesque Riverside on Monday, with Sri Lanka’s 21year-old Avishka Fernando and West Indies’ 23-year-old Nicholas Pooran dishing out magnificent tons before the Islanders won the high-scoring thriller by 23 runs.

Put in, Sri Lanka posted a mammoth 338 for six, riding on Fernando’s 104. In reply, Pooran’s clinical 118 gave the West Indies a fighting chance before it was restricted to 315 for nine.

After the team had slid to 71 for three, Pooran revived the innings. The aggressive Pooran put together two partnerships — 54 with Carlos Brathwaite and 83 with Fabien Allen.

The team remained on course till the 47th over before Angelo Mathews, who last bowled in December 2017, dismissed Pooran who struck 11 boundaries and four sixes.
