West Indies beat Sri Lanka by 17 runs in CT warmup
West Indies was made to bat first and reached 297-6, then Sri Lanka was all out for 280 in 47 overs.
BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) - West Indies rebounded from a drubbing from Australia in beating Sri Lanka by 17 runs in a Champions Trophy warmup game at Edgbaston on Tuesday.
Johnson Charles and Chris Gayle gave West Indies a solid start with a combined 87, then Darren Bravo and Ramnaresh Sarwan raced along before both retired at 71 and 55 respectively in the 44th over to give others batting time.
Sri Lanka s chase was well placed at 124-3 but few batsmen were allowed to settle, and Kumar Sangakkara s demise for 56 off 62 balls in the 32nd when he edged behind Dwayne Bravo, made the result inevitable despite a late flick from the tail.
