**Amazing performance by West Indies.
They finished with 312-4 with Lara making an excellent 116 mauling sri lankans bowling to all parts of the ground.
Gayle played a great innings as well, only to be tragically run out on 94.
Marlon Samules chipped in with 55 off 30-odd delieveries, this guy is only one of two players in the world those fit in 'lazy elegance category', Other being youhana.
Lets see how SL reply to this mammoth task.

when everybody was writing SL off, did i not say the result is close to call for the test and IDI's. They have proven me right in first game, series to me still is too close to call. Jayasauria is yet to fire and Lara, as i said in first post is the greatest match winner at international cricket.
does it ever work man!
So far Sri lankan are 192-4
need 121 runs off 93 balls... considering the fact that WI made 138 runs off last 12 overs, not entirely imporrisble but WI had Lara on crease... Lets see..
Windies will make it easily. :k:

Yaar, at that time when I was watching, it was showing Prime Tv or some other Pakistani channel, I couldn't see the picture but the sound was perfect.
12 runs needed from 10 balls.
Play delayed due to rain...
Srilanka 250/4 in 42.4 ovs
They might actually end up winning this!!
SL win it with 3 balls to spare, What a chase what a victory. Congrats to SL
Arey Saby bhai aab toh maan jao, SL's got style.
Sri lanka won, congrats to them … I cant believe WI were this bad in the field, dropped two sitters off chandana in final overs that could have been a big difference. They dropped some 5 catches today. Plus thier experienced bowlers bowling wides and no balls final overs which went for boundaries, icing on the cake… 
Chandana played remarkably well but he should have been out in his 60’s let alone89
Ehsan bhai, Today they played really well and you have to agree with me that they benefitted largely from the dropped catches and extras but yes they played exceedingly well. :k: But they are still one-dimensional team who does not play attractive cricket 
But today that was an amazing chase.
great match!
Sri Lanka was amazing, well played!
Poor performance from Windies on the field, with bowling and fielding.
2nd time in this series, Windies have blew their chances in the 2nd inning.
SL won by 4 wickets
Oh boy i've to take my claim my back that the windies wins it 2:1 ..... what an innings by Chandana .... with special thanx to Windies fielder who dropped him atleast twice and missed chances to run out him .....
a very well deserved win by SL
Damn, I feel so sory for Lara. The fielding was pathetic by the Windies.

:( 5 catches and two run outs :( Lara was devestated.
the second game proves me right again, its just that SL has won more games in last decade or so that they know how to react under crunch situations better than windies. there are three more game sin tour Lara and Jayasauria are still men to watch for both teams.
So the link for the 3rd ODI WI vs. SL is:
Match starts at 1:30 UTC/GMT
Good luck
Looks like WI match this one.
