Superb Sri Lanka hits 192-5 against Windies
NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) - Sri Lanka produced a wonderful batting display on Wednesday as it made 192-5 in its Twenty20 World Cup game with West Indies at Trent Bridge.
Openers Sanath Jayasuriya (81) and Tillakaratne Dilshan (74) flayed the West Indies bowlers to all parts of the ground as they put on 124 for the first wicket.
Lendl Simmons, who took 4-19, was the only bowler to avoid punishment, as Sri Lanka hit 23 fours and six sixes.
With both sides having already qualified for the Super 8 phase there was little at stake, but West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin - standing in for the rested Chris Gayle - will regret asking Sri Lanka to bat after winning the toss.
Fidel Edwards conceded 17 runs off the second over and Kieron Pollard’s first over went for 19 as Jayasuriya raced to his 50 off 29 balls.
The Sri Lankans offered few chances until Dilshan was dropped by Sulieman Benn in the 12th over and they were aided by some comically bad fielding.
Jayasuriya was finally out lbw to Simmons in the 13th over and captain Kumar Sangakkara made just 5 before he was caught by Andre Fletcher off Simmons.
Simmons belatedly slowed the run rate with two wickets from three balls in the 17th over, when he had Mahela Jayawardene caught by Ramdin, then tempted Dilshan into a swish that was held by Benn.
Jerome Taylor was the only other bowler to take a wicket, getting Chamara Silva caught behind with three balls left.
