  1. Goodnight!

    That's it for West Indies' hopes of defending their title, I'm afraid.

    Callum's report is available for you to catch up on.

    We'll be back tomorrow, when India and New Zealand look to strengthen their semi-final cases.

    See you then.

  2. 'End of an era'

    West Indies will need to change personnel but if you look back at 50-over World Cups, I was told we should have won in 1983 but we took it for granted and haven't won another one since.

    We took to T20 like a duck to water and it is coming to an end of an era.

  3. It really was a belting knock from one of the finds of this tournament.

  4. 'This is my pay-off time'

    Player of the match Charith Asalanka: "Always glad to have a half-century and a match-winning knock for my country. I look forward to doing it more for my country.

    "Before this World Cup I hadn't played a lot of T20 cricket. I asked the senior players questions and wanted to get better and better by the day. That’s it.

    "I was waiting for five years and I worked hard to get to the national side. This is my pay-off time. I just want to carry on, work hard and win more matches for my country."

  5. Stuart Law
    Former Australia batter & West Indies coach on BBC Test Match Special

    Sri Lanka set a good platform, they built an innings and they created a base for people to finish the innings off.

    West Indies have been out played today.

  6. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Big credit to Sri Lanka with how convincingly they won the game. They planned well, executed their plan well, but the West Indies will need a post-mortem because of how badly they have played in this tournament.

  7. Shimron Hetmyer kept some interest in this for West Indies but, in truth, it never felt like they were going to chase this. They're a team low on form and low on confidence.

  8. SRI LANKA WIN BY 20 RUNS!
    Breaking

    West Indies' title defence is over!

    It has gone wrong since their first Super 12s match, frankly.

  9. WI 168-8

    The penultimate ball is somehow sent for four via the inside edge of Shimron Hetmyer's bat.

  10. WI 164-8

    No run, as Hetmyer clatters the ball into the stumps at the other end.

  11. 6 runs

    WI 164-8

    Shot!

    Shimron Hetmyer goes big and long over the ropes.

  12. Daniel Norcross

    Hetmyer had belief before the over because he slapped his bat after that first delivery.

  13. WI 158-8

    Dot.

    It's done.

  14. WI 158-8

    Thrashed for two first up.

  15. 34 from six balls.

    Send for Carlos.

  16. WI 156-8

    Hetmyer runs one of the worst byes you'll see and, somehow, Sri Lanka don't run out Akeal Hosein despite the fact that he is mid-pitch when Kusal Perera has the ball.

  17. WI 155-8

    Dot ball!

    Hetmyer smacks the ball into his leg and then swishes at fresh air, absolutely fuming with himself. That should have gone the distance.

    Being a Manchester United and West Indies fan this month hasn't been easy.

  19. WI 155-8

    Full from Karunaratne, and it is walloped with disdain by Hetmyer for four.

  20. 6 runs

    WI 151-8

    And Shimron Hetmyer makes it back-to-back sixes with another free-flowing strike back down the ground.
