Kusal Mendis hit an unbeaten 68 which powered Sri Lanka to win first T20 International (T20I) series over the West Indies with a thumping nine-wicket victory in the third and final T20I game in Dambulla on Thursday.
Sri Lanka chased down their 163-run target with 12 balls to spare as a sell-out home crowd in Dambulla erupted. “Happy to get the team over the line,” said Mendis who hit five fours and three sixes.
“Not the easiest pitch to bat on, but these are conditions that we are used to playing.”
