West Indies vs Sri Lanka – T20I 2026 Match Report | Statz
Holder Dismantles Sri Lanka as West Indies Cruise Home in Kingston
West Indies won by 7 wickets (with 4 balls remaining) in the 83rd match of the 2026 T20 International season at Sabina Park, Kingston. Jason Holder produced a devastating spell of 3/18 from four overs to restrict Sri Lanka to 147/9, before Shai Hope‘s unbeaten 65 anchored a comfortable chase. The result extends West Indies‘ dominance in the head-to-head, now leading 6-3 in T20Is against Sri Lanka.
First Innings – Sri Lanka 147/9 (20 overs)
Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat, but lost their way badly in the powerplay. Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka put on 43 for the first wicket in 4.2 overs before the wheels came off spectacularly. Nissanka was clean bowled for 18 off 14, and Lasith Croospulle fell LBW for a golden duck the very next ball – 43/2 in the space of two deliveries. Pavan Rathnayake made just 4 before being caught at 49/3 in the sixth over.
Kusal Mendis counter-attacked with 36 off 23 balls, striking two fours and three sixes at a strike rate of 157, but his departure at 65/4 in the eighth over left Sri Lanka in trouble. Kamindu Mendis and Dasun Shanaka rebuilt with a partnership of 59 for the fifth wicket, Shanaka contributing 22 off 23 before being caught at 124/5 in the 16th over.
Kamindu Mendis was Sri Lanka’s standout with 51 off 39 balls (four fours, two sixes, SR 131), but once Shanaka fell, the lower order crumbled. Wanindu Hasaranga managed just 3 off 6 before being caught at 138/6, Maheesh Theekshana made 1 off 5 (139/7), and two run outs in the final over – Kamindu Mendis at 144/8 (19.4) and Dushmantha Chameera at 147/9 (19.6) – summed up a chaotic finish.
Jason Holder was the pick of the West Indian attack with 3/18 from four overs at an economy of 4.50. Shamar Joseph matched him with 3/29 from four overs, though his economy of 7.25 was less miserly. Roston Chase chipped in with 1/19 from four tidy overs at an economy of 4.75.
Second Innings – West Indies 149/3 (19.2 overs)
Brandon King set the tone with an aggressive 37 off 22 balls, smashing two fours and three sixes at a strike rate of 168. He and Hope put on 67 for the first wicket in 6.2 overs before King was bowled by Eshan Malinga.
Shimron Hetmyer maintained the momentum with 17 off 9 (two fours, one six, SR 189) before being caught at 95/2 in the ninth over. Roston Chase steadied things with 16 off 26 alongside Hope, though his strike rate of 62 slowed the chase momentarily. When Chase was bowled by Hasaranga at 128/3 in the 17th over, Rovman Powell came in and smashed 10 off 6 balls including a six to help Hope finish the job.
Hope was the glue of the chase with an unbeaten 65 off 54 balls (five fours, two sixes, SR 120). It was not a flashy innings, but it was exactly what the chase required – a composed anchor while others attacked around him. Hasaranga was Sri Lanka’s best bowler with 2/32 from four overs, while Malinga took 1/26. Dilshan Madushanka went for 39 from 3.2 overs without a wicket.
Statz MVP – Jason Holder
Jason Holder earns the Statz MVP award with a match impact rating of 112.22, which calculates impact based on match context. His 3/18 from four overs was the defining spell of the match, breaking the back of Sri Lanka’s innings in the powerplay and maintaining pressure through the middle overs. Statz agrees with the official Player of the Match – Holder’s bowling figures were simply outstanding on a Sabina Park surface that offered something for the seamers. His season total of 144.86 Statz MI points from four matches at an average of 36.21 underlines his consistent impact in this T20 International season.
Top 5 Statz Ratings
- Jason Holder – 112.22 – 3/18 from four overs at an economy of 4.50. The spell that decided the match.

Turning Point
The match turned in the space of two balls. Pathum Nissanka was bowled at 43/1 in over 4.2, and Lasith Croospulle fell LBW for a golden duck the very next delivery – 43/2 off 4.3 overs. Sri Lanka had looked comfortable with openers Nissanka and Kusal Mendis going well, but that double strike in the powerplay changed the complexion entirely. From 43/0 to 43/2 in two balls, Sri Lanka never truly recovered despite Kamindu Mendis’ best efforts.
