Rovman Powell entered the record books on Saturday night, becoming the all-time leading run scorer for the West Indies in T20 international cricket.

Yet, the milestone arrived in the bittersweet shadow of a defeat, as Sri Lanka levelled the three-match series 1-1, setting up a thrilling decider at the iconic venue.

Powell, who now has 2,314 runs in the format, overtook Trinidadian Nicholas Pooran, 2,275, with a typically powerful knock after top-scoring with 43 for the regional side.
