Despite the excitement on the last day of the Antigua Test, the match ended in a draw. The first test also saw the same result. The two-game series is also a draw.
Sri Lanka needed 348 races on the last day of Friday. Much out of reach. His fight was to save the party. The West Indies were more likely to take 10 wards. But the Caribbean bowlers failed to take a lifeless wicket. Fast thrower Shannon Gabriel’s hamstring strain also reduces his bowling power. It was raining.
Before the tie, Sri Lanka could score 193 of 2 in 69 overs in the second inning.

After scoring 18 runs in the previous three innings of the series, this time Sri Lanka’s captain Karunaratne played a 75-run inning. Oshada was undefeated in 6 races.
The inaugural couple of Lahiru Thirimanne and Karunaratne was the driving force behind the Sri Lankan struggle. The duo made a pair of 101 232-ball runs.
Although the pair could break earlier. Thirimanne gave a chance on the third change of the day. Joshua da Silva couldn’t catch the ball behind Gabriel. And this couple did not give a chance.
After three fifty in a row in the series, Thirimanne was fired for 39 races.
Karunaratne survives for a long time with discomfort. Not getting the beat. I keep fighting to survive. Meet later. The draw with Oshadar ensured much of the survival of 105 balls.
After spending more than four hours at the wicket, Karunaratne’s endurance ended with 85 runs of 16 balls.
Oshada and Dinesh Chandimal passed their time without interruption. Oshada was undefeated on 119 balls with six fours and six runs.
Brathwaite, the best Caribbean captain of the game, played 127 and 75 runs in two innings. Suranga Lakmal is Sri Lanka’s best fast shooter in the series with 11 bowling grounds.
