Nissanka, Fernando and Mendis lead Sri Lanka blitz and bowlers complete series clean sweep. T20 series should decide new look Sri Lanka revival. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor) Yes, for quite a spell there was reason to believe Sri Lanka cricket was hit and miss, they have now dispelled that theory with another comprehensive thrashing of Afghanistan to take them to a 3-0 series sweep in the one-dayers in Pallekelle.

Maheesh Theekshana led the way with three early wickets to restrict the West Indians to 243 runs in their 50 overs. Pathum Nissanka and Dimuth Karunaratne then indulged in an opening stand of 190 runs to build the foundation for ...
