A century by young Avishka Fernando helped Sri Lanka post over 300 on the board. Windies were terrible with their fielding but Fabian Allen's stunner to dismiss Kusal Mendis was one of the best moments from first innings of the match. Fans on Twitter went berserk and reacted on the same.

Great batting performance by Sri Lanka!

300* for the first time in this tournament!
— SUM3SH 🇱🇰 (@SumeshLakshan)

Sri Lanka's day!

Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 are a deadly side to watch. Came to fine form a little too late at this . They can beat anyone on their day. If the Lankans started their campaign like this, they'd be dark horses to win this World Cup!
— Mo Farooq (@MoFarooq9)

What a great catch!

Fabian Allen you beauty
— Santa (@mrgreenidge)

Outstanding effort!

Sensational caught and bowled from Fabian Allen - diving away to his right - to dismiss Kusal Mendis. West Indies desperately needed that. Sri Lanka 189-3 in the 32nd over. 🇱🇰

Superb!

Flying mode from Fabian Allen 😈😬
— Poornama Edirisooriya (@poor9grazus)

Gabriel narrowly escaped a serious injury!

Nearly had a Mark Boucher moment there!
— Craig Hughes 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 (@Badgerous1)

That Could Have Been The End Of Shannon Gabriel's Career
— Chatil Panditasekara (@ChatilPandi)

True!

It's hard to get those Zing Bails off but when they do they almost end up in Shannon Gabriel's eye.
— Matthew Beggs (@MatthewBeggs)

Brilliant catch!

As i told earlier, Fabian Allen is a gun fielder.
— Johns (@CricCrazyJohns)

Sri Lanka was in good touch today!

Where has this quality batting been for the rest of the CWC?! Much better from
— So Malah (@JakeDThorne)

Good job, captain Holder!

100 wickets as captain in ODI cricket:

158 wickets - Wasim Akram (109 ODIs)

134 wickets - Shaun Pollock (97 ODIs)

131 wickets - Imran Khan (139 ODIs)

100* wickets - JASON HOLDER (82 ODIs)
— Sampath Bandarupalli (@SampathStats)

Absolutely!

Best innings Sri lanka have had all world cup thus far??
