So, that's it from our side. Sri Lanka have continued their momentum from the T20I series to go 1-0 up in the 3-match ODI series. An impressive all-round performance from the home side. West Indies, on the contrary, have a lot of scope for improvement. Their top-order looked jittery against the spinners and failed. Rutherford was brilliant with the bat but a lone effort usually doesn't win you games in ODI cricket. Join us after a couple of days from the same venue to catch all the action from the second ODI. Until next time, goodbye and cheers!
Charith Asalanka | SL captain and PoTM: Thank you so much, it was a convincing win and we batted really well. First, my plan was to attack from the outset, played with a positive mindset. I think me and Nishan batted well. I think more than 15 overs we got a chance with the wet ball, they couldn't grip the ball properly and myself and Nishan did well. It was a good innings from Nishan, it's a positive headache to have. (Replacement player for the injured Nissanka)
Shai Hope: It's something we can't control, we have to focus on what we can focus on. The guys showed a bit of intent at the backend of the innings. Sherfane played really well. It was challenging, I firstly don't bowl many balls but
