Jayasurya and Dilshan were in murderous mood yesterday in their match against the windies which was anyway a dead rubber in the context of the tournament...west indies started without gayle,who was nursing a knee injury and were led by denesh ramdin...after winning the toss he put srilanka to bat... the only success he had in the match was winning the toss...their bowlers were blasted to every part of the ground by jayasurya and dilshan who recorded the highest opening partnership in the tournament....Lendl simmons was the only bowler who kept the batsmen under check and took almost all the wickets that fell..edwards had an off day as he leaked too many runs...srilanka eventually finished at 192 for 5...
West indies had a tough ask as the required rate was 9.8 at the start...the openers made a decent start....introduction of spin slowed the scoring rate and a resulted in a few wickets...bravo and sarwan batted well but the asking rate was to high...in the end sarwan and pollard hit some lusty blows but found themselve shoprt by 15 runs...jayasurya was declared man of the match for his 81 off 47 balls..
