Sri Lanka capitalised on the opportunity, posting a formidable total of 194 for the loss of 6 wickets in their allotted 20 overs. Kamil Mishara anchored the innings with a solid knock of 60 runs, while Dasun Shanaka provided the explosive fireworks, smashing a blistering 58 runs off just 24 balls. On the bowling side for the West Indies, Shamar Joseph was the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets, while Matthew Forde chipped in with 2 wickets.
Chasing a challenging target of 195, the West Indies struggled to keep up with the required run rate and were bowled out for 157 runs in 18.1 overs. Rovman Powell top-scored for the visitors with 43 runs, and Shimron Hetmyer contributed 36, but it wasn't enough to guide their team across the line.
The Sri Lankan bowling attack dismantled the Caribbean batting lineup, spearheaded by Dushmantha Chameera and Wanindu Hasaranga, who claimed 3 wickets apiece. With this victory, Sri Lanka has successfully leveled the two-match T20I series 1-1.
