Sri Lanka react in savage fashion to crush Windies in game two. Debutante Dinuth Wellalage has West Indian batters in a dizzy spin. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka responded in emphatic fashion to the first game loss by crushing West Indies by 73 runs in Dambulla.  Stung by the first game  reversal, the Lankans responded in merciless fashion to bowl out the visitors for 89 while they were in pursuit of 162.
