West Indies post 162 for 6

Lasith Malinga and Milinda Siriwardana took 2 wickets a piece as West Indies managed to post 162 for 6 in the final T20 international against Sri Lanka in Colombo. They lost wickets at regular intervals but key contributions from Johnson Charles (34), Denesh Ramdin (34) and Dwayne Bravo (31) helped the visitors post 162 for 6. West Indies won the toss and opted to bat against Sri Lanka as they looked to end a disappointing tour with a win in the second Twenty20 international on Wednesday. The tourists made two changes to the side that lost the first of their two-match T20 series by 30 runs in Pallekele Monday, while Sri Lanka picked an unchanged team. Leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo and all-rounder Jason Holder made way for Denesh Ramdin and Ravi Rampaul as the West Indies sought to avoid a whitewash at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Sri Lanka swept the three-match one-day international series 3-0 and also won the preceding Test series without loss, taking it 2-0. The start of Wednesday's match was delayed by around 15 minutes because of rain.
