Poena86: "Imagine the outcome if the following people on the team sheet: Narine, Bravo brothers, Sammy, Gayle, Arnold, Pollard, Rampaul. Would be very very hard to beat. If something like that could be possible..." -- Arnold?
Aashish Calla: "The under-rated Nuwan Kulasekara is Sri Lanka's 5th highest wicket taker in ODIs, and the 3rd among pacers! #Respect."
A below-par score by the looks of it. Conditions aren't as overcast as the tournament opener and movement isn't as pronounced either. The pitch is expected to ease out, which will make West Indies' job harder. Credit to Sri Lanka, though, for a disciplined effort. They hardly gave away an easy run. Rovman Powell led a brief recovery for West Indies, but that was the problem - it was too brief. It's been Sri Lanka all the way in the first innings. Will it change in the chase? Join us in a bit to find out.
