Sri Lanka Levels Series Against West Indies

Sri Lanka leveled the T20 series against the West Indies with a dominant 73-run victory in the second match, led by debutant Dunith Wellalage’s impressive spin bowling at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. The West Indies struggled against spin, posting their lowest T20I total against Sri Lanka, with only three batters reaching double digits. The series is now tied 1-1, with the decider set to be played at the same venue. Sri Lanka is eager to extend recent successes in Tests and ODIs to the T20 format, having recently ended a 27-year dry spell by winning an ODI series against India and achieving a Test victory in England. They are looking ahead to co-hosting the next T20 World Cup alongside India, while the West Indies, ranked third globally in T20s, are missing several key players.
