West Indies once again lost a match that they could have won or had it in their reach. Chasing 339 for victory after Avishka Fernando's hundred and Kusal Perera's 64 guided Sri Lanka to their highest score in the tournament, West Indies were going strong at one point, with a hundred by Nicolas Pooran and fifty by Fabian Allen, but the run-out and Lasith Malinga's three wicket-haul and Angelo Mathews dismissing Pooran restricted West Indies to 315/9 in 50 overs as Sri Lanka won by 23 runs.

What an over that was from Angelo Mathews. He has completely changed the course off the game. Dismisses Nicolas Pooran for 118. West Indies now need 28 runs in 12 balls.

01 Jul, 23:20 (IST)

OUT! Nicolas Pooran is gone. Mathews gets his first ODI wicket since December 2017. And what a time to get it. Bowls one outside off, Pooran goes for it but ends up edging it. Keeper completes the catch. N Pooran c K Perara B A Mathews 118 runs off 103 balls.

West Indies reach beyond 300. Nicolas Pooran is the key here. Isuru Udana has been expensive in his spell as well as this over. 31 runs needed off 18 balls.

Malinga bowling those deadly yorkers. However, a misjudgment in the field leads to a four and let off for Nicolas Pooran. But Malinga gets back strongly. West Indies requires 40 runs in 24 balls.

01 Jul, 23:05 (IST)

Nicolas Pooran has reached his hundred. However, he will lament that mix-up that resulted in the run-out of Fabian Allen. West Indies need 47 off 30 balls.

01 Jul, 23:01 (IST)

OUT! Just what the West Indies did not need at this stage. A horrible mix-up and Fabian Allen has to depart as he is run-out. Fabian Allen run out (Rajitha/Udana) 51 runs off 32 balls.

01 Jul, 22:58 (IST)

West Indies requires 57 runs in 36 balls. That's what the equation has come down to thanks to Fabian Allen and Nicolas Pooran's partnership.
