Sri Lanka Smother Windies in Jamaica

A COMMENT FROM ONE THUPPAHI Named Roberts

I did not watch the match, but the scorecard indicates that Dasun Shanaka mounted 58 runs at the remarakable rate 0f 241; while Dushmantha Chameera secured an astounding economy rate of 3.44 together with three wickets.  Wunderbar ….. Hodi Heleyi-Heleyyiaaahhh !

18.1 taken at deep midwicket!! Sri Lanka win by 37 runs. Slower ball from Chameera, and Chase falls. It was on the shorter side of a length around middle, and Chase went heaving to the longer part of the ground. But Kamindu did well to take a low, tumbling catch and wrap this match up 157/10
