What an amazing game of cricket it was! Sri Lanka showed their brilliance in batting and posted a score of 338 while Windies made the run chase extremely exciting and gave their best to reach the target. Twitter heaped praise on Windies and bashed MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav for not showing intent.

Brief Score: Sri Lanka 338/6 in 50 overs (Avishka Fernando 104, Kusal Perera 64; Jason Holder 2-59, Fabian Allen 1-44) beat West Indies 315/9 in 50 overs (Nicholas Pooran 118, Fabian Allen 51; Lasith Malinga 3-55, Angelo Mathews 1-6) by 23 runs

They made the chase so interesting!

Windies is lucky to have a player like Pooran!

Pooran 💯 he is blessing to the west Indies team an innings under pressure wickets were falling under regular interval but he kept his nerves tight and gave some good reply to short balls, was in good form in @CPL and @IPL thats what was expected from him in wc. #SLvWI

Great spirit!

Finally the intent which we want yesterday from India is showing by West Indies today.

Especially to blind bhakts of Dhoni.#SLvWI
