Sri Lanka has been playing good Cricket , recently
Looking forward to this Series ~

As many as ten players opted out of Sri Lanka's tour of Pakistan last year
the last time they played ODI cricket and Sri Lanka have included many of them in a strong squad
led by Dimuth Karunaratne who was one of the players to withdraw `
The 15-man squad also sees the return of Niroshan Dickwella, who chose not to travel to Pakistan

as did Kusal Perera, Dhananjaya de Silva, Thisara Perera and Angelo Mathews

all now back in the squad !!

1st ODI : West Indies tour of Sri Lanka at Colombo
Feb 22 2020
Sri Lanka won by 1 wicket : with 5 balls remaining !

The beat goes on ~

West Indies' batting seemed to be fizzling out in the death overs, when Kemo Paul took control
hitting 32 off 17 : as he and No. 10 batsman Walsh Jr put on 49 off 20 balls.
In the end, another 22-year-old allrounder, whom Paul had played against during the 2017 Under-19 World Cup
Wanindu Hasaranga would play an even braver innings
and haul the opposition over the line.
