West Indies head into the 2nd T20I against Sri Lanka high on confidence after winning the opening encounter and taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. The hosts won the nail-biting match by 7 wickets.
West Indies needed six runs in the last over. Shai Hope and Rovman Powell gave the side a sweet victory with 4 balls to spare.
Speaking about the team's performance, West Indies captain Hope said, “It was pretty challenging to be fair. The consistency from Holder and Shamar was commendable. The pace-off was utilised pretty well as well. It's a great confidence-booster to start the series well. We wanted to win more comfortably in the end, but a win is a win. See, we need to trust our ability against spin and back our execution.”
Sri Lanka, who entered the T20I leg after a successful ODI campaign in the Caribbean, will be hoping for a quick turnaround. The visitors had earlier secured the ODI series 1-0.
The second T20I will once again be played at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica.
