Kingstown (St. Vincent), June 17: Sri Lanka and the West Indies President's XI played to a draw in their three-day practice match yesterday despite a polished half century knock from Ryan Hinds.
The discarded West Indies middle-order batsman hit 83 as
the President's XI was dismissed for 296 replying to Sri
Lanka's score of 299.
The 22-year-old had good support from captain Daren Ganga (54) and wicketkeeper Carlton Baugh (43).
Hinds, who had sent down 25 overs in the Sri Lankans first innings and took one for 30, batted with assurance against the mixed spin and pace attack at Arnos Vale in St. Vincent.
He reached his 50 in 167 minutes off 154 balls and struck two fours. He shared in successive half-century partnerships with Ganga and Baugh.
The West Indies plays their first test against Sri Lanka, starting Friday in St. Lucia.
