Evin Lewis Guides West Indies to ODI Victory

Evin Lewis scored an unbeaten 102 to lead the West Indies to an eight-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the third ODI, providing a consolation win in the series that Sri Lanka had already clinched 2-0. Lewis, returning to ODIs after a three-year absence, showcased his skill by hitting the winning runs with a six, achieving his fifth ODI century off just 61 balls. He and Sherfane Rutherford formed a crucial partnership, scoring 88 runs together while the required run rate climbed above 12 per over. Despite rain interruptions that reduced the match to 23 overs, Sri Lanka managed to post 156-3, but ultimately fell short in defending the revised target of 195. Captain Shai Hope praised Lewis's performance, hoping he can maintain this form in future series. Sri Lanka's captain, Charith Asalanka, expressed disappointment over missed opportunities in the match that could have changed the outcome.
