4:38 AM IST Sri Lanka seize control with the ball - Sri Lanka will be delighted with their bowling display.

Wanindu Hasaranga picked up 3/38, Maheesh Theekshana removed Powell, and Chameera capped off a superb outing with 3/9 to help level the series.

4:36 AM IST From collapse to comeback - Earlier in the game, Sri Lanka posted a big total after stumbling to 43/3.

4:33 AM IST The victorious skipper of Sri Lanka - Kusal Mendis praises his batting unit. First, he starts with Dunit's performance, the way he batted and put the pressure on the opposition really helped the team to post a good total on the board. Then he shifts to Kamil's innings, who played an anchor role for them, which is equally important for them. On being asked about their impactful changes in the playing XI, he says that they wanted to bring the lefty-righty combination in the middle order and that is the reason why they brought Kamil into the team. On being asked about the decider match, Mendis says that they will be ready to face the Windies. They will look forward to keeping things simple and playing basic cricket.

4:31 AM IST The captain of West Indies - On his stunning catch to dismiss Pavan Rathnayake, Shai Hope says the ball was heading to his right and he simply threw out a hand, with the catch sticking neatly. Assessing the defeat, he feels the West Indies fell short in execution despite having clear plans coming into the game. He admits the bowlers leaked a few extra runs but also believes the batters should have taken more responsibility during the chase. He adds that there are areas the team can improve on and that they will look to address them ahead of the next match. On chasing targets of 160 or more, he stresses the importance of playing to strengths while also adapting to the match situation. He feels the side has enough experience and quality, and that the issue is not poor batting but rather understanding key moments and executing better under pressure. Looking ahead to the final T20I, his message to the team is straightforward: go out and win the game.
