In pursuit, West Indies started steadily but failed to capitalize. They were completely at sea against the Lankan wrist spinners and flopped miserably. Shai Hope once again was the only batsman to present a fight but apart from him, it was a collective failure for the touring team. A thoroughly professional effort in the field by the Lankan Lions and they deserve to be 2-0 ahead in the series.

A ruthless show one can say! Although it started on a sorry note for Sri Lanka as they lost two quick wickets upfront but that was followed by a record and marathon 239-run stand between Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis. Both struck fabulous centuries and propelled the home team to a gigantic total. The West Indian bowling was very flat, however, Alzarri Joseph and Sheldon Cottrell bowled some good overs at the death. Their fielding though was very mediocre with plenty of catches getting dropped and granting Mendis a life when he was on 2 haunted them the most.

Thumping win for Sri Lanka! They have registered their biggest win against West Indies in ODIs to take an unsurpassable lead in the 3-match ODI series. The Lankan dressing room is all smiles and their players are celebrating in the middle.

Sheldon Cottrell is the last man in for the West Indies.

Resumption time! After a delay of little over 10 minutes, the floodlight is restored to its working state. Pradeep steams in...

Alzarri Joseph is the new batsman. It seems there is a light failure. One of the floodlights has stopped illuminating and we have a delay. The spectators are flashing the back light of their mobile phones. Unfortunately, that cannot help.

Review time! Keemo Paul is the man in question as Sri Lanka have challenged the decision of the umpire. After a long halt, the Ball Tracker comes in and shows that the ball is going down leg.
