SRI Lanka posted a challenging 160 for six total against the West Indies in the World Twenty20 semi-final in Dhaka.
Lahiru Thirimanne topscored with a career best 35-ball 44 runs, Tillakaratne Dilshan made a run-a-ball 39 and Angelo Mathews a fiery 23-ball 40 after Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat on a slow pitch at the Shere Bangla stadium.
Mathews hit two sixes and three boundaries to give the innings the much-needed impetus against the defending champions before he fell off the last delivery.pePaceman Krishmar Santokie finished with two for 46 runs.
Thirimanne, who was playing after Twenty20 captain Dinesh Chandimal opted out due to poor form, hit three boundaries and two sixes.
