WC 2019: Sri Lanka down West Indies in inconsequential cliffhanger

By Saurabh Sharma July 02, 2019 • 00:58 AM View: 1224

Chester-le-Street, July 2 (CRICKETNMORE): Ton-up Nicholas Pooran played the innings of his life but Angelo Mathews delivered the ball of the match to get his wicket and help Sri Lanka to a 23-run victory over the West Indies in an inconsequential but thrilling World Cup tie here on Monday.

With both teams not standing a chance to qualify for the semifinals, there was only pride to play for. But it turned out to be a rip-roaring affair in the end in which Pooran slammed 118 off 103 balls (4x11, 6x4), his maiden hundred, to get West Indies very close to gunning down 339 for victory, which would have been the highest successful run-chase in World Cup history.
