West Indies deservedly earned their first Test series win over Sri Lanka in 23 years when the second Test predictably ended in a tame draw at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Tuesday,

Trying to force an unlikely victory to level the series, Sri Lanka batted aggressively to score 251 for nine in 49 overs before declaring their innings belatedly just after lunch.

Set a target of 302 for victory in 60 overs, West Indies openers John Campbell and Brandon King never showed any interest in taking on the challenge, with both batters scoring unbeaten half centuries before both captains agreed to a draw with the home side 109 without loss after 40 overs.
