Pitch: 4 - Normal
Weather: 4 - Hot and sunny
Toss: West Indies
West Indies won the toss and batted first, and though they lost a couple of wickets in a slow start, Haynes and Lara powered them to 146/2 off 20 overs with unbeaten half centuries.
Haynes carried his bat for 64* off 57 balls, while Lara was more aggressive in making 62* off 40.
In reply the Sri Lankan Board XI lost wickets steadily, and after 2 early wickets to an impressive Walsh, never looked like winning.
Walsh took a miserly 2-15 from his 4 overs, while Harper and Bishop took 3 apiece in a good allround display by the West Indies attack.
West Indies won the match by a comfortable 29 runs in the end, Man of the Match was Brian Lara for setting up a total that was quickly beyond the home side.
