West Indies Masters Beat Sri Lanka, Reach T20 Final Against India

The West Indies Masters triumphed over Sri Lanka Masters by six runs in a thrilling semi-final of the International Masters T20 League, securing their spot in the final against India Masters. Denesh Ramdin's explosive unbeaten 50 and Tino Best's impressive four-wicket haul were pivotal in the West Indies' victory, avenging their earlier loss to Sri Lanka in the group stage. Batting first, the Windies set a challenging target of 180 runs, with notable contributions from Brian Lara and Chadwick Walton. In response, Sri Lanka's Asela Gunaratne fought valiantly with 66 runs but ultimately fell short as the West Indies held their nerve in the closing overs. The final is set for March 16, marking a rematch with the India Masters, who defeated the Windies by seven runs in their earlier encounter. This upcoming clash is anticipated as a showdown between cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara.
