3rd T20I: Windies beat SL by 3 wickets, win series 2-1
W
est Indies beat Sri Lanka by three wickets in the third T20I to win the three-match series 2-1 at the Coolidge Cricket Ground. Fabian Allen smashed three sixes in the second last over of the match to help the West Indies chase down Sri Lanka's 131/4 with an over to spare.
Earlier, Dinesh Chandimal scored an unbeaten half century but an 85-run stand between him and Ashen Bandara for the fifth wicket could only get Sri Lanka just past the 130-run-mark. Allen, Kevin Sinclair, Jason Holder and Obed McCoy all took a wicket each.
The West Indies were constrained by Sri Lanka's spinners during the chase. It came down to the hosts being 105/7 in the 18th over, needing 27 to win from 18 balls. While Holder survived the over, Allen then finished it off with his assault in the 19th.
Brief scores Sri Lanka 131/4 in 20 overs (Dinesh Chandimal 54 not out, Ashen Bandara 44 not out; Fabian Allen 1/13) lost to West Indies 134/7 in 19 overs (Lendl Simmons 26, Nicholas Pooran 23; Wanindu Hasaranga 2/13)
