Sri Lanka v West Indies, 2nd T20I, Pallekele

Oshane Thomas drew first blood with a 148kph delivery that cleaned up Avishka Fernando's ungainly heave across the line

Fabian Allen joined the act soon, with two wickets off consecutive deliveries to break the back of the Sri Lankan top-order

It was down to the two all-rounders, Thisara Perera and Dasun Shanaka, to rescue the sinking ship that had lost all momentum and provide a final impetus to lift them to something respectable. They did just that, smashing 39 off the final three overs to lift their side to 155.

After Lendl Simmons fell early, Brandon King made sure there were no surprises, milking the powerplay and finishing with a 21-ball 43.

The only real moment of joy for the Sri Lankans in the second innings came when Shehan Jayasuriya plucked out an absolute stunner in the deep to get rid of Rowman Powell.

Andre Russell did just what he does, tonk some for fun, and ended up with six sixes in his knock of 40 off just 14 balls to seal the deal with three overs to spare.
