It could be the most memorable night in his career if the team manages to claim a win against the visitors. However, Rovman Powell mentions that he feels good as he claims the milestone. He never imagined he could represent the West Indies national cricket team, and that too for about a decade now. The batter vows to score more runs to improve his T20I tally for his nation.
“It feels good, you know, it's a boy who dream to play for the West Indies. I never knew I would play for West Indies for the last ten years or so, so it's definitely something that I've dreamt about. So to be able to score most runs for wrestling is at this point a very good feeling,” Rovman Powell said after the match.
Talking about the match, Sri Lanka scored 194 runs in 20 overs in exchange for 6 wickets. West Indies had enough firepower to surpass the target, but it was not their night as they managed to score only 157 runs in 18.1 overs before losing all of their batters.
Sri Lanka did well both with bat and ball
For Sri Lanka, Kamil Mishara and Dasun Shanaka batted brilliantly, scoring fifty-plus runs each for the team. With the ball, pacer Shamar Joseph claimed 3 wickets and a brace of Matthew Forde.
Like the batters, the Lankan bowlers also did the needful to protect the run. Dushmantha Chameera and Wanindu Hasaranaga both bagged three wickets each for their team. Along with Rovman Powell, Shimron Hetmyer was the other batter who tried to perform sensibly with the bat. Apart from these two batters, the rest of the West Indian batting attack made a fuss against Sri Lanka.
