West Indies started a nervy game and was 147-5 at one point. They were on the verge of another humiliation but Nicholas Pooran’s spectacular century saved them and helped to build a solid score in the response of Sri Lanka’s hefty amount of runs. Both teams are already out from the tournament but they both tried to make a special game in their last phases.
