Sri Lanka won by 4 wickets
and then came Marlon Samules, he started off in a hurry, smashing
the bowlers all over the park and runs began to flow
Lara soon joined him and from there on it was Calypso cricket at
it's best, Lara raced away to his 17th one day international
hundred
Samuels completed a superb half century and he finished off with 56
runs from 36 balls
a total of 136 runs were scored form the last eleven overs
West Indies finished off with 312 on the board
Sri Lankan openers started off in style and when they lost
Jayasuriya in the eleventh over the score was 71
Kaluwitharana was soon run out
but it was Upul Chandana (89) who played a gem of an innings and
took Sri Lanka to a memorable victory
West Indian bowlers lost their way in the final overs and helped by
some wayward bowling and sloppy fielding Sri Lanka reached the
target with three balls to spare
Chandana was named man of the match for his brilliant 89
`and with this victory Sri Lanka have clinched the series and they
now lead the three match sereis 2-0
we will be back with the live coverage of the third and final ODI
which will be played at
