10.45pm So, WI have something to take home after a horror tour. They have won this last game and levelled the T20 series. They have defended a competitive score very well and efficiently with some persistent accuracy. The change in pace was very effective and despite a sprightly start, SL fell away in the second half of that innings. Dilshan displayed his experience with a terrific knock and anchored the chase well but no one else could find the boundary regularly enough as the hosts went down by 23 runs. Bravo claimed four wickets for 28 and along with some handy contributions ensured WI have something at the end.
Dwayne Bravo is the Man of the Match: "I want to say well played to the entire team. We wanted to plan well and execute. We have very good lower-order hitters. We were happy at the halfway stage. My role is to stabilise things from one end. It was not a 200 wicket. Once we bat first and bat properly, we have a very good bowling line up to defend. Sammy was good again, clear messages to the bowlers. We have batters who can chip in. Our fielding display was very good. We had a very good team meeting this morning.
Tillakaratne Dilshan is the Man of the Series: "I'm in great form, but unfortunately that shot did not go my way. I'm disappointed I didn't finish the game. It was a gettable target but the bowlers used the pitch really well. I'm enjoying every single ball, every single moment."
Lasith Malinga: "It was a good wicket, toss was important but we were looking forward to bowl. We got a good start from our batsmen. I'm happy with all departments. They could have got 180-190, but restricted them to 160.
Darren Sammy: "We had a good discussion in our team meeting and we played really well. It was good to see the team learn very fast. We have good memories here. The guys who batted said we should take pace off the ball. We were desperate to get this win. The World T20 is a long way and that was our last game. Guys play around the world so they have to take something from there."

and there it is. Siriwardana has to go. Narine bowls a quicker delivery outside off, Siriwardana runs at Narine but goes straight past it. Ramdin does the rest in one motion. Is that the final nail in the coffin?
