What a match
Earlier in the day Lara won the toss and elected to bat fist
West Indian openers started off slowly and Vaas removed Wavell
Hinds in the eleventh over with just 30 runs on the board
Lara and Gayle came together and put up a 137 run partnership for
the second wicket
and that laid the platform for a decent total, Gayle was runout
when he was on 94
and that laid the platform for a decent total, Gayle was run out
when he was on 94 and he was soon followed by Sarwan who was also
run out
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
