Sri Lanka beat West Indies, Sri Lanka won by 19 runs (D/L method)

11.30pm And now the umpires get together. A steady drizzle at the moment and the umpires call for the covers. The crowd leave and the players shake hands. It looks like that is it. Yes, it is. Sri Lanka win by 19 runs and complete a D/L win. SL complete a 3-0 series win. Anti-climax but that's how it ends. The rain fittingly has had the final say after it has affected all matches of this series. West Indies struggled from the start of the innings and couldn't find wickets from anywhere. They were sloppy in the field and conceded too many runs early. Kusal struck his second successive fifty and carried SL closer to their revised D/L target. Eventually they cantered home and completed the match with a D/L win.

Man of the Series is Kusal Perera

Man of the Match is Marlon Samuels
