WI post 214

Opener Johnson Charles top-scored with 83 to steer West Indies to 214 in the rain-curtailed second one-day international against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Wednesday.

Charles, 26, hit four sixes and seven fours in his entertaining 70-ball knock after the visitors elected to bat in the day-night game at the Premadasa Stadium.

Stand-in captain Marlon Samuels chipped in with a quickfire 61-ball 63 before being run out in the penultimate over.

The match was reduced to 38-overs a side following a rain interruption of more than three hours. Sri Lanka require 225 runs for a win according to the revised target.
