Powell Seals West Indies Win in Sri Lanka National Cricket Team Vs West Indies Cricket Team Match Scorecard

Rovman Powell sealed the sri lanka national cricket team vs west indies cricket team match scorecard with a six in the final over, lifting West Indies to a seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka in Kingston, Jamaica. The chase finished with four balls remaining after West Indies reached 3-149.

Shai Hope set the pace with an unbeaten 65, while Jason Holder and Shamar Joseph turned the first T20 international with the ball. Holder took 3-18 and Joseph added 3-29 as Sri Lanka were held to 147 after choosing to bat.

Sabina Park Scorecard

Sri Lanka’s total was built around Kamindu Mendis, who top-scored with 51, and Kusal Mendis, who made 36. That left West Indies chasing a modest target, but the innings still needed Powell’s late finish after the home side made 66 runs in the first six overs and then slowed.

The opening win gave West Indies a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20 series. It also followed Sri Lanka’s 1-0 ODI series victory, with the final two matches washed out, so the response at Sabina Park arrived quickly and on home ground.

Holder Leads West Indies

Holder was named man of the match after a spell built on attack and control. He said, “It was a really good bowling performance and credit to our bowlers.” He also said, “We always think about getting wickets in the dressing room.”

He added, “I was thinking to attack.” Those figures and that approach gave West Indies a first-up edge in the series, while Sri Lanka now have two matches left at Sabina Park on Saturday and Sunday to try to level it.
