West Indies vs Sri Lanka, 3rd T20I, Sri Lanka tour of West Indies 2026 - HighlightsWI vs SL, 3rd T20I, Sri Lanka tour of West Indies 2026 - Highlights

Shamar Joseph to Maheesh Theekshana, out Bowled!! Full, fast yorker at 143.5kph, you miss, I hit from Shamar Joseph. And he roars and celebrates with a few fist pumps. Theekshana backs away to squeeze it out through point but misses and hands Shamar Joseph his best figures in T20Is. Leaked 20 runs in his third over and he's got 5 wickets for 13 runs in the other three overs. What a roller coaster for him. Maheesh Theekshana b Shamar Joseph 4(4) [4s-1]

Shamar Joseph to Dushmantha Chameera, out Caught by Brandon King!! This is another mishit, brilliant take running back and to the left by King from mid-off. Short of a length delivery, Chameera looks to slap it hard, sends it straight up and taken nicely. Shamar Joseph is on a hat-trick. He throws the ball into the ground, possibly angry with himself for leaking runs at the end against Wellalage. Dushmantha Chameera c Brandon King b Shamar Joseph 0(1)

Shamar Joseph to Dunith Wellalage, out Caught by Matthew Forde!! This is high, complete mishit and Forde took a well judged catch running forward at deep mid-wicket. The fun ends for Wellalage and Shamar Joseph manages to get the last laugh. But Wellalage has given Sri Lanka a serious chance by single-handedly taking on Shamar. He tried to flick this length delivery, got rushed on the shot and got it on the outer half of the bat and holed out. Dunith Wellalage c Matthew Forde b Shamar Joseph 43(28) [4s-6 6s-1]

Shamar Joseph to Dunith Wellalage, FOUR, Wellalage is smacking Shamar Joseph. Shamar tried to bowl the slower ball into the wicket but it stood up and with mid-off up, Wellalage slapped it over the infield and beats Powell's chase to the fence

Matthew Forde to Maheesh Theekshana, FOUR, this time he succeeds and Matthew Forde will be livid with this last ball four because Theekshana had already gone down on one knee for the scoop. Forde tried the yorker and offered a low full toss, Theekshana made contact and rolled on the ground. Forde knuckles his own forehead

Matthew Forde to Wanindu Hasaranga, out Wanindu Hasaranga Run Out!! 1 run completed. Oh a stunning direct-hit from Rutherford with one stump to aim at with the side angle from deep point. Matthew Forde gives the fielder a thumbs up with a big smile for that effort. Rutherford was a bit sloppy on the field but he's managed to bounce back. Full delivery outside off stump, Hasaranga squeezed this out to backward point. Rutherford wasn't really attacking the ball so Hasaranga thought he could steal a second run and fell well short. Wanindu Hasaranga run out (Sherfane Rutherford) 21(13) [4s-1 6s-1]

Jason Holder to Wanindu Hasaranga, FOUR, these two batters are getting timely hits away to the fence. Short delivery outside off stump, Hasaranga backs away and lofts over cover and Jason Holder walks off dejected as he was choking the runs

Jason Holder to Dunith Wellalage, 1 run, full and angling in, Wellalage drills it to long-on

Shamar Joseph to Dunith Wellalage, FOUR, now this is a contender for the shot of the game as well. Unbelievable confidence to bend the knees to a bowler who is bowling quick and to a ball not so short and guide it fine to the right of short third man. Oh man! He's picked it off the off stump. Nothing that the bowler would have done than give the batter a wry smile. Had to take the hat off there to Dunith Wellalage! It's not even bounced close to the top of the off stump and he still managed to get under and guide the ball. 20 runs off the over and Sri Lanka are inching ahead

Shamar Joseph to Dunith Wellalage, FOUR, this is possibly the shot of the game. Shamar Joseph has completely released the pressure by attempting the yorkers when bowling into the wicket was working. His extra pace is negating the pitch as well. Wellalage took a step forward while backing away. Shamar once again didn't get the blockhole and Wellalage got under the ball to play a brilliant lofted-drive over cover

Shamar Joseph to Dunith Wellalage, FOUR, the free-hit is lofted over mid-off. Why would you bowl full with mid-off up. Sri Lanka are turning it around in this over. The moment Shamar Joseph missed the yorker, Wellalage got under it and got himself another boundary

Shamar Joseph to Dunith Wellalage, FOUR, Wellalage goes aerial over cover now. Full and fast as he targets the yorker from round the wicket, Wellalage lofts inside-out and that's 7 off 2 balls

Matthew Forde to Wanindu Hasaranga, SIX, that's a needless short ball without a man at deep mid-wicket. Hasaranga rocks back and gives everything on the pull, would have been a catch on the fence had there been a fielder, instead it's a six as Hasaranga manages to clear despite kind of mistiming the shot

Jason Holder to Dunith Wellalage, FOUR, that's a lovely lofted drive over cover-point. Full and angling in, Wellalage waits and belts it over the infield for a much-needed four

Jason Holder to Dasun Shanaka, out Bowled!! This guy was the big difference in the last game. West Indies had to rest him due to a niggle and Sri Lanka smacked 99 runs in 6 overs towards the end, but in the form that he is in, he comes back and now gets a massive wicket. Possibly, this tilts the series in favour of West Indies. Dasun Shanaka tried to get too cute by moving across the stumps to try and glance it fine but he walked too far across and exposed the leg stump. Holder went for a leg-side full ball and hits the leg stump. Runs off in his celebration. Now that 170 looks tough for Sri Lanka. Dasun Shanaka b Jason Holder 16(13) [4s-1 6s-1]

Roston Chase to Dunith Wellalage, SIX, this is a timely six for Sri Lanka. Flighted delivery on the stumps, Wellalage gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps, connects pretty well and clears both fielders in the deep. Bit of pressure released

Akeal Hosein to Dasun Shanaka, FOUR, spoils a good over by moving across and sweeping this flighted delivery behind square. Fine leg up and he picked his spot so well. He's in the mood again for a big fight

Akeal Hosein to Dunith Wellalage, 1 run, oh dropped! Rutherford should have come forward early to snatch this. Did fall short but could have had it with a dive if he had moved early. Short delivery on the leg stump, Wellalage mistimes the pull and gets away with it as it drops just short of deep backward square leg

Akeal Hosein to Kamindu Mendis, out Caught by Rovman Powell!! This guy can bowl to left-handers. He dangled the carrot to the LHB by bowling this full and angling it across the batter and Kamindu couldn't resist the matchup. He wanted to take down Akeal and went for another lofted hit. Instead he mistimes it off the bottom of the bat and long-on takes a simple catch. Kamindu shakes his head and walks back. Kamindu Mendis c Rovman Powell b Akeal Hosein 20(15) [6s-2]

Akeal Hosein to Kamindu Mendis, SIX, he's muscled this. These can get some quick runs here with their matchups, Shanaka is taking on Chase and Kamindu has started this over aggressively against Akeal. West Indies need to be smart here. Flatter delivery from Akeal and Kamindu absolutely belted the pull over square leg after quickly rocking back. Ball is lost and they get a replacement, which is being shown to Shai Hope

Roston Chase to Dasun Shanaka, SIX, Shanaka continues from where he left off. Was right in the slot around off, Shanaka clears his front foot and pumps it over long-on. Sails comfortably over the ropes

Roston Chase to Kamil Mishara, out Lbw!! Chase gets the man in form. This was darted into the left-hander. Mishara goes for the sweep, sinks low and misses the full delivery. Gets hit on the back thigh and the umpire had no doubts to raise his finger. Replays show that was hitting middle stump. Kamil Mishara consults his partner and burns the review. Kamil Mishara lbw b Roston Chase 28(23) [4s-3 6s-1]

Roston Chase to Kamindu Mendis, SIX, dragged half way down the pitch. Mendis jumps on it in a flash and smokes the pull to deep mid-wicket. Sails deep into the stands

Roston Chase to Kamil Mishara, no run, off-break that goes straight on with the arm. Mishara looks to flick and misses off the inside edge. The ball clips the pad and flies to the slip fielder. West Indies lose a review

Jason Holder to Kamil Mishara, FOUR, lucky boundary for Mishara. Top-edge and over the keeper. Was a short delivery at the badge, Mishara goes for the pull and gets a edge that flies over the keeper. Bounced just inside the ropes

Shamar Joseph to Pavan Rathnayake, out Lbw!! Back-to-back wickets for Shamar Joseph. Peach of a delivery to get first up. Was full and straight from Joseph, he gets a hint of swing away from the right-hander. Rathnayake misses the line and is hit dead in front of middle. The umpire had no doubts and raises his finger in a flash. Shamar Joseph is on a hat-trick. Pavan Rathnayake lbw b Shamar Joseph 0(1)

Shamar Joseph to Pathum Nissanka, out Caught by Roston Chase!! Shamar Joseph gets a big wicket in his home ground. Was bowled on a good length, Nissanka wanted to pull, he swing across the line and gets a top-edge that goes straight up. Roston Chase calls for it early and settles under to take a good catch. Pathum Nissanka c Roston Chase b Shamar Joseph 26(17) [4s-2 6s-2]

Matthew Forde to Pathum Nissanka, FOUR, backs it up with another boundary after a six. Gets the width he needs, he opens the bat face and cuts it late to pick the gap on the off-side. Fielders remained unmoved

Matthew Forde to Pathum Nissanka, SIX, Nissanka cracks another maximum. Makes room and goes through with the shot. Was on a back of a length delivery and Nissanka stands tall to smoke it straight back over the bowlers head

Akeal Hosein to Pathum Nissanka, FOUR, Nissanka backs it up with a boundary. Gets low and extends his arm to sweep the ball through square leg. No chance of stopping that as it was timed to perfection

Akeal Hosein to Pathum Nissanka, SIX, down the ground and Nissanka has got enough bat on it to clear the fence. Skips down the track and chips the full delivery through the line. Didn't get it off the meat, but had enough bat for the first maximum

Matthew Forde to Kamil Mishara, FOUR, Mishara is continuing from where he left. Stands tall and picks the short and wide delivery to cut. Times it so well that the ball raced away in a hurry

Matthew Forde to Kamil Mishara, FOUR, Matthew Forde comes round the wicket to the left-hander and angles it into the left-hander. Mishara gets a thick inside edge as he looks to tuck it to the on-side. Raced away fine past the fielder behind square on the on-side

Matthew Forde to Kusal Mendis, out Caught&Bowled!! An early strike for the West Indies. Forde plucks it one handed in his followthrough. This was on a good length angled into the right-hander, Mendis closes the bat face early on the flick and gets a leading edge back to the bowler. Forde times the jump to perfection and gives a send off to Mendis, who is not happy with it and has a word back. Kusal Mendis c and b Matthew Forde 5(5) [4s-1]

Matthew Forde to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, cheeky and Mendis pulls it off with ease. Moves a long way across his stumps and scoops it over short fine leg. Falls just short of the ropes for four
