**Dambulla, Sri Lanka -** The third and final T20I between Sri Lanka and the West Indies is a nail-biter, with the series hanging in the balance after both teams secured a win each in the previous two matches.

Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis has been a key player, reaching a crucial half-century and putting on a strong partnership with Kusal Perera.
