West Indies, the defending champions, suffer a severe blow not just with their bowling but also with their batting lineup. Sri Lanka displayed their dominance by posting a massive target of 189 for the Windies.
By taking back-to-back wickets, Sri Lanka exhibited their excellent potential to put the Windies under pressure with their attack. Fernando takes his first victim in the form of Chris Gayle (1 off 5 balls) and Evin Lewis (8 off 6 balls) as his second. Roston Chase was indeed trapped Karunaratne at (9 off 8 balls).
