Presentation Ceremony
Mahela Jayawardene, the winning Sri Lankan Captain and also the Man of the Match for his unbeaten knock says: "The boys stuck to their guns and asked a lot of questions of the WI batsmen. To top it off we finished well with the bat. If Chris was batting we would have had different tactics. I thought that if I bowl one guy too much they could line him up so I kept changing it. We still have a game to play. After 12 overs me and Kumar decided to try and finish it off quickly to finish with a good run rate."
Darren Sammy, the losing West Indies Skipper says: "We are disappointed. We had momentum coming into the game. Playing the SL bowlers in their own backyard is very tough. We have a must win situation. Today they bowled well, we didn't. We bowled a little too short and wide. We still have one more chance. The way the Sri Lankans used the conditions was good. They varied the pace and did well."
