Sri Lanka kicked off their ODI series against the West Indies with an impressive six-wicket victory, thanks to stellar performances from Nishan Madushka<\/strong><\/a> and Charith Asalanka. Both players hit crucial half-centuries, guiding Sri Lanka to a comfortable win and a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Despite a brave effort from West Indies’ Sherfane Rutherford and some sharp bowling by Gudakesh Motie, the visitors couldn\u2019t match Sri Lanka\u2019s power-packed middle order.<\/p>\n\n\n

Sri Lanka\u2019s Dominance in the Chase<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chasing a rain-affected target of 234, Sri Lanka made their intentions clear from the start. Nishan Madushka, stepping in for the injured Pathum Nissanka, grabbed the opportunity with both hands. His 69 off just 54 balls was a statement of intent, filled with confidence and aggression. Madushka\u2019s innings included seven boundaries and a six, showing his flair and adaptability in international cricket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
