Sri Lanka bounced back to level the three-match T20 series with a commanding 73-run victory over the West Indies, their biggest win ever against the Caribbean side. This dominant performance in Dambulla also became Sri Lanka’s sixth-largest T20 win overall, surpassing their previous best against the West Indies — a 57-run win in London back in 2009.
After setting a challenging target of 163, Sri Lanka’s spinners dismantled the visitors, bowling them out for just 89 runs in 16.1 overs. This total is now the West Indies’ lowest against Sri Lanka in T20 internationals and their sixth lowest score in T20 history.
