Sri Lanka found themselves struggling at 43 for three, before Kamil Mishara and Kamindu Mendis brought the score to 88 when Mendis was dismissed for 24 by Forde.

Mishara found a useful partner in Dasun Shanaka and the pair took the score from 88 for four, to 191 for five when Dasun Shanaka was dismissed for a well played 58. Shanka faced 24 ball, and he struck five fours and four towering sixes. Top scorer Mishara was left not out on 61 having faced 40 balls, with four fours and three sixes.

An enterprising 81 run partnership between Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell gave the home team some semblance of hope, but when Hetmyer was dismissed for 36, with the score on 90 in the ninth over, the collapse of the West Indies has begun.
