West Indies A grabbed a 90-run win against Sri Lanka A in their 2nd unofficial ODI, on Tuesday, 25 June, at National Cricket Stadium, St George's, Grenada.
After winning the toss, West Indies A chose to bat first, aiming to put enough runs on the board to leave their rivals wounded.
Openers Nkrumah Bonner and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pinnaduwage-Chaturanga-de-Silva-c82299 broke the partnership by dismissing Simmons for 40.
Bonner then formed another commendable partnership with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kirk-Anton-Edwards-c71510 as the two batsmen hammered the bowlers and led their side towards 111 runs, before the latter was removed by Ramith Rambukwella for five. Then with 116, the
batting side suffered the loss of their third wicket when Bonner was dismissed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Seekkuge-Prasanna-c89140 after hammering a knock of 64 runs.
With the top three batsmen back in the pavilion, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ADS-Fletcher-c940 needed to rebuild the innings. The two batsmen halted the bowling onslaught as they steered their side towards 168 runs, before this partnership
also met its end on the wicket of Fletcher who lost his stumps after belting a knock of 30 runs off 37 deliveries. Deonarine was then the next batsman to find his way back to the pavilion after he was dismissed for 34.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Devon-Cuthbert-Thomas-c53930 then hammered a 26-run knock to help his side post a massive score of 240 on the board.
From Sri Lanka A, de Silva was the best bowler with three wickets to his name. The Lankans then had a fantastic start to their run chase as openers Niroshan Dickwella and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Frank-Dimuth-Madushanka-Karunaratne-c57388 forged a stand of 94 runs, before this
partnership was broken on the wicket of the latter who perished with 51 runs to his name.
On the first delivery of the next over, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Angelo-Kanishka-Perera-c44682 also found his way back to the pavilion without opening his account. With 99 runs on the scoreboard, the batting side suffered the loss of their third batsman when Dickwella
was clean bowled by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Veerasammy-Permaul-c94981 with 41 runs off the bat. This triggered a batting collapse as Sri Lanka A crumbled in 42.1 overs for 150.
Narsingh Deonarine was the ace bowler from West Indies A with three wickets.
