PLAYER OF THE
MATCH
Andre Fletcher
West Indies brushed aside Sri Lanka by seven wickets in their
World Twenty20 Super 10 match on Sunday, with opener Andre Fletcher smashing an unbeaten 84.
Fresh from the impressive six-wicket win over
England on Wednesday,
Windies skipper
Darren Sammy won the toss at the
M Chinnaswamy Stadium and put Sri Lanka in, trusting his batsmen to chase down any total. Defending champions Sri Lanka slumped to a disappointing 122-9 and then had no answer to
Fletcher, who opened alongside
Johnson Charles as
Chris Gayle, scorer of an unbeaten century against England, dropped down the order.
Andre Fletcher in full flight for West Indies against Sri Lanka.
Gayle never made it to the crease but his services were scarcely missed as Fletcher smashed five sixes and six boundaries to seal a routine second Group One victory for his team.

The win was set up by a strong bowling performance by the Windies, with pace bowler
Carlos Brathwaite drawing first blood by getting the in-form
Tillakaratne Dilshan out lbw with his first ball of the match in the third over.
Dilshan, who scored 83 against
Afghanistan on Thursday, had tried to set the tone, hitting his first ball for six and following that up with a boundary, but he was out for 12.
Denesh Ramdin breaks the stumps to run out Sri Lanka's
Dinesh Chandimal in
Bangalore.
His strike partner Dinesh Chandimal also suffered a soft dismissal, when he was run out on 16 in the fifth over.
Spinner Samuel Badree took 3-12 in his four overs to wreak havoc with Sri Lanka's top order with
Lahiru Thirimanne,
Chamara Kapugedera and
Milinda Siriwardana all falling cheaply.
