Windies winded by Sri Lanka flourish

Chasing Sri Lanka's 303 for five, built on Sanath Jayasuriya's 25th one-day international century, the West Indies were dismissed for 190 with a little over five overs remaining.

Only Shivnarine Chanderpaul, with a determined 76 off 110 balls, saved the West Indies from total humiliation. He and Ramnaresh Sarwan (44) shared a 92-run fourth-wicket partnership but Sarwan's dismissal at 134 in the 35th over triggered a collapse in which four wickets fell for 24 runs.

Chanderpaul hit five sixes and just one four in his innings but apart from Sarwan, none of the other batsmen showed the application necessary to put up a West Indian challenge. The pair came together after the West Indies lost their first three wickets, including that of captain Brian Lara, for 42 runs by the 11th over.

Lasith Malinga, who created history with his four wickets in four balls against South Africa, removed Chris Gayle (10) caught at mid-off while Chaminda Vaas bowled Dwayne Bravo (21) and had Lara stumped by Sangakkara for two.

Sarwan and Chanderpaul consolidated the innings with Sarwan playing positively before his 68-ball innings ended when he was deceived in flight by Jayasuriya and stumped.

Marlon Samuels (three) faced five balls before Muttiah Muralitharan trapped him lbw and Dwayne Smith (duck) was run out two balls later.

A desperate Dinesh Ramdin tried to hit Jayasuriya over mid-wicket and was caught by Vaas before Chanderpaul was bowled by Malinga as the innings plunged to 173 for eight.

Muralitharan then trapped Jerome Taylor (13) lbw and Jayasuriya deservedly ended the game by bowling Jerome Taylor.

Earlier Jayasuriya hit his second ton as the Sri Lanka batsmen hammered the West Indies bowlers. Jayasuriya struck 115 off 101 balls with 10 fours and four sixes and shared a third wicket partnership of 183 with skipper Mahela Jayawardene (82) to put their team in a solid position.
