wanindu hasaranga

Colombo, Feb 22:  Wanindu Hasaranga led the rear guard action from Sri Lanka as they beat West Indies by one wicket in the first ODI between the two sides in Colombo on Saturday. Chasing a target of 290 that the West Indies set up largely thanks to a century from opener Shai Hope, Sri Lanka went through a middle order collapse after a 100-run stand by the openers.

However, Thisara Perera and Hasaranga turned it around. The latter kept his nerve after Sri Lanka started falling again post Thisara's departure and led his team to victory. West Indies thus remain without an ODI win in Sri Lanka in 14 years.
