Sri Lanka vs West Indies 2014 Live Score: Lasith Malinga double spells trouble for Windies

Both the openers gone. Captain leading with examples for Sri Lankans.

First Gayle played an indifferent shot to drag a churlish delivery. Three balls later, Smith failed to measure Malinga's express delivery, which castled the stumps.

Now, with a double blow, Sri Lankans can target more wickets as two new batsmen, Marlon Samuels and Lendl Simmons start to start the chase afresh.

The West Indians have to keep a close watch on the Sri Lankan bowlers. After left-arm spinner Rangana Herath took five wickets for three runs to decimate New Zealand in a low scoring game, Sri Lanka will face a selection headache. Mendis, who can bowl leg-spin and off-spin, was benched for the game against New Zealand because he went wicketless against England in Chittagong. However, with dew being negligible in Mirpur, Mendis won’t have difficulty gripping the ball and using his variations
