That's it from us folks. The T20 series is done. All three games were interesting, but WI's T20 nous and batting power triumphed over Sri Lanka's spin-bowling nous in the end. Join us again in a couple of days for the ODIs - the first one kicks off on Wednesday.
Fabian Allen is player of the match for his 1 for 13 with the ball, and 21 not out off 6 with the bat: "I prepare for everything, including bowling in the Powerplay. I just backed myself and executed. The pitch is very slow, so I just needed to execute my plans. When I look in the dressing room we have a lot of batting power. I told Jason Holder that I'm not comfortable batting against Hasaranga, so I told him to bat him out and I'll be finishing. I just backed myself in the end. It was a good performance overall."
A little heartbreak for Sri Lanka, who fought hard with the ball after a terrible first 10 overs with the bat. But what a batting line-up this West Indies side has. They can six-hit their way out of almost any situation. Fabian Allen - their No. 9 - was the guy who struck the decisive sixes today, but you look up and down that order, and feel a match-winning innings can come from anywhere.
It's been a slightly dramatic chase, but Sri Lanka lost this in the first 10 - they were 4 for 46 in the 10th over, and although Bandara and Chandimal put on 85 together, they needed another 15-20 to make things difficult for West Indies. Akila Dananjaya having an off night didn't help either.
Akila Dananjaya to bowl the second-to last over.

Another great spell from Hasaranga, but that no-ball and the six it allowed Holder to hit has meant that West Indies are still very much within striking distance
Free hit coming up.
Allen and Holder are very capable of doing this. But they have to get through Hasaranga, who's bowling his last now.
