During the chase, Sri Lanka got off to a good start and put on a 40 and 156 run stand for the first and second wicket respectively. Kusal Perera played a solid innings of 99 off 92 balls, however Lahiru Thirimanne was the second highest run scorer for Sri Lanka with 81 runs. West Indies' bowlers did not bowl on good areas and gave away too many runs, so the hosts overtook the target easily with 8 wickets remaining. Kusal Perera was declared as the man of the match for his brilliant innings.
