WI v SL, 1st ODI, Port of Spain: West Indies beat Sri Lanka with six off last ball
April 10, 2008
Shivnarine Chanderpaul struck a six off the last ball to seal a remarkable one-wicket win in the first one-day international against Sri Lanka.
With nine wickets down chasing 236 for victory, West Indies needed 10 to win off two Chaminda Vaas balls and, even when Chanderpaul struck the first of those for four, that looked an unlikely ask.
But Vaas bowled a full toss and the Guyanese batsman swung the ball over a despairing Mahela Jayawardene at wide mid-on for an astonishing match-winning maximum.
Chanderpaul (62 not out) was the mainstay of a stuttering innings which began with 52 from Chris Gayle and featured contributions from Dwayne Bravo (36) and Ramnaresh Sarwan (35).
Earlier, Chamara Kapugedera and Chamara Silva amassed a record partnership as Sri Lanka recovered from a terrible start to post 235 for seven.
Three early wickets for man of the match Bravo (four for 33) saw the tourists reduced to 49 for five but Kapugedera (95) and Silva (67) compiled 159 - a Sri Lankan record for the sixth wicket in ODIs.
