21.6
Asitha Fernando to Lewis, SIX, 100 for Lewis and West Indies win. And he is hobbling away to his left after hitting the six straight. Full on off, Lewis clears his front leg and lofts, enough power to carry all the way, as soon as he hit that he limped away, then punches the air in delight, throws the bat away and removes the helmet to look at the heavens

17.3

9.3
Madushanka to Lewis, 1 run, great effort by Nissanka at deep mid-wicket but cannot hang on. A short of length delivery on off, Lewis smashes the pull, Nissanka leaps well and catches it, but as he is going down he is falling on the cushions, so throws it back, no-one close to him for that relay catch. Still 5 saved
8.6
Hasaranga to Lewis, no run, just googlies this over, good length and turns away from well outside off, dabbed to backward point

8.4
Hasaranga to Lewis, 2 runs, the googly is shortish outside off, Lewis cuts to sweeper cover and it's a couple as the batters run well

8.2
Hasaranga to Lewis, no run, brilliant googly outside off, turns away from outside off, Lewis did not pick it, cuts and misses
7.6
Madushanka to Lewis, 2 runs, dropped! Tough chance but had to be taken. Full pitcher outside off, Lewis bludgeons the drive towards mid-off and Hasaranga flies to his right, gets both hands but the ball does not stick. That would have been a stunner..
7.3
Madushanka to Lewis, 1 run, I0$ good length ball around off, Lewis opens the bat face and directs it square of the wicket
7.2
Madushanka to Lewis, FOUR, I0$ leg-lined delivery, Lewis stays back and helps it along past short fine. He used the pace of Madushanka and collected the boundary
6.1
Hasaranga to Lewis, no ball, 1 run, fraction short and outside off, Lewis thumps it down to long-off. Sri Lanka had only four fielders inside the 30-yard circle. This is not a T20. It is an ODI and they need to have 5 fielders inside the ring. The umpire spotted that and called it a no-ball
4.6
Theekshana to Lewis, no run, skidding down leg, Lewis tries to repeat the boundary shot but ekes out an inside edge onto the thigh pad. He missed out there..
4.5
Theekshana to Lewis, 2 runs, sliding into the pads, Lewis nudges it into the mid-wicket pocket and races back for the second
4.3
Theekshana to Lewis, 1 run, I0$ tossed up around off, Lewis toe-ends the sweep and the ball rolls in front of mid-on
4.2
Theekshana to Lewis, FOUR, loses his radar and Lewis makes him pay. I0$ dart down leg, Lewis swivels and helps it past short fine
4.1
Theekshana to Lewis, no run, I0$ flighted outside off, Lewis prods forward and looks to defend, the ball spins away and beats the outside edge
3.6
Asitha Fernando to Lewis, 1 run, I0$ fuller and outside off, Lewis hammers the drive straight to extra cover and the fielder does well to make the stop
3.2
Asitha Fernando to Lewis, 3 runs, I0$ back of a length around off, Lewis hacks it wide of mid-on and Nissanka does well to stop the boundary. He rushes across from deep mid-wicket and hauls it in with a full length dive
3.1
Asitha Fernando to Lewis, no run, appeal for LBW. But the umpire is not interested. I0$ good length ball and Lewis thinks it is short enough to pull, misses and the ball strikes him on the back thigh. The ball might have pitched outside leg and height also was an issue
2.6
Theekshana to Lewis, 1 run, I0$ flatter delivery on off, Lewis knocks it into the turf and the ball bounces over Theekshana
2.3
Theekshana to Lewis, 1 run, I0$ slows it up outside off, Lewis plays with soft hands to point and quickly crosses over
2.2
Theekshana to Lewis, no run, I0$ fraction short and outside off, Lewis cracks it straight to backward point
0.6
Theekshana to Lewis, no run, Sri Lanka don't lose the review. This was the slider and keeps slanting in, Lewis plants his front leg forward and plays around the front pad, gets beaten on the inside edge and is struck on the pad. But the angle was taking it down and the ball was just kissing the leg-stump
0.5
Theekshana to Lewis, FOUR, poor delivery and Lewis puts it away. Sliding down leg, Lewis sits down and helps it along with a sweep, placed it perfectly through backward square leg. That should get him going..
0.3
Theekshana to Lewis, 1 run, this one holds up to the surface, Lewis drops it with soft hands to the off-side and the pair quickly cross over
0.2
Theekshana to Lewis, no run, uhhh! That's a peach from Theekshana. Lewis was all at sea and just manages to survive. Drifts in from round the wicket and straightens, Lewis plays down the wrong line and is beaten on the outside edge. He does well to hold his balance and not leave the crease
