So, a thumping victory for Sri Lanka tonight to level the series. The hosts are always a force to reckon with when there’s turn and grip available on the surface and their spinners once again proved that tonight. The West Indies’ batters difficulties against quality spin bowling on a slightly sluggish pitch surfaced once again. There’s all to play for as the third and final game of the series is coming up day after tomorrow from the same venue. Do join us to catch all the action. Until next time, goodbye and cheers!

Charith Asalanka | Sri Lanka captain: It is an important win for us. It is a journey and hopefully this win will be a start. It was a good toss to win. We were thinking 160-170 would be a par score and the openers set the platform. He (Wellalage) has experience playing 50-over cricket and didn't look like a debutant. Hopefully we win the series.

Rovman Powell | West Indies captain: At the halfway stage we believed we can get 160. But it was not a T20 wicket and they (SL) used the conditions nicely tonight. It was just the case of us not reaching for the ball like we did. We have 24 hours to look at what we can do better. T20 cricket is all about match-ups and that's why I got my left-arm spinner against their right-hand batters, same thing they did with their left-arm spinner. West Indies love a final and that game should be very good.

Pathum Nissanka has been awarded the Player of the Match for his well-composed fifty. He spoke in Sinhalese so we couldn't cover his interview

22:05 Local Time, 16:35 GMT, 22:05 IST: When Theekshana with his quick darts starts turning the ball square then it is trouble for any team. West Indies were never in the chase. They were blown away by Sri Lanka's spinners especially debutant Dunith Wellalage. The left-arm spinner finished with impressive figures of 3/9 in his 4 overs and that spell put West Indies on the back foot early on. There was no recovering from that as Asalanka kept bringing one spinner after another, he too bowled and picked up a couple of wickets. Rovman Powell along with Alzarri Joseph showed a bit of resistance and ensured it is not an embarrassing defeat for the visitors. But it is still a big loss and one that exposed West Indies' batting when the ball is turning. Presentations coming up..
