In a high-octane clash between West Indies and Sri Lanka, the islanders snatched a thrilling 4-wicket win with a ball to spare in a rain-shortened 10-over-a-side contest.

Batting first, West Indies struggled early, losing wickets in clusters. Despite being 56/6 at one stage, Obed McCoy’s blazing 31 off just 14 balls and Alzarri Joseph’s quick 24 lifted them to a competitive 111 in 9.4 overs. Binura Fernando and Matheesha Pathirana were the pick of the Sri Lankan bowlers, both striking twice to keep the Windies in check.

Sri Lanka’s chase began with fireworks as Dinesh Chandimal smashed 46 off 26, setting the tone. But regular wickets kept West Indies in the hunt. At the start of the final over, Sri Lanka needed 7 runs to win, with Obed McCoy bowling a tense last over. Dasun Shanaka fell on the 4th ball, leaving the equation at 3 runs required off the final delivery. Calm under pressure, Wanindu Hasaranga launched McCoy over the ropes for a match-winning six, sealing a dramatic last-ball victory for Sri Lanka at 115/6 in 10 overs.
