sliding from 194 without loss to get home in the final over with two balls to spare.<\/p>\n<p>However, Captain Kieron Pollard said the decline was not necessarily a cause for concern going forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese things happen; you can\u2019t have a perfect game,\u201d the experienced all-rounder pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just a matter of understanding situations when you\u2019re in the middle and if you\u2019re in, wanting that guy to go as deep as possible. We\u2019ve won the series so we can look at the positives and try to fix that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like Lewis, Pollard reiterated the focus of the side to make a clean sweep of the series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach game is very, very important for us going forward so we\u2019re going to come and see if we can win three-nil,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis and his opening partner Shai Hope have been critical to West Indies\u2019 success in the series, with record hundred-run partnerships in both games.<\/p>\n<p>In the opening ODI, Hope hit 110 and Lewis, 65 in a 143-run stand, while in the second game Lewis struck 103 and Hope, 84 in a 194-run opening partnership.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis said there had been a great synergy with Hope, with both hungry to do well and provide the ideal start for the home side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBatting with Shai is pretty easy. I feed off him sometimes and he feeds off me sometimes so I think batting with him is excellent,\u201d said the 29-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is a guy that always has confidence. I feel very at ease when I bat with him. We\u2019re just looking to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2544341261\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Indies will be gunning for their third whitewash in five series when they clash again with Sri Lanka in the final One-Day International (ODI) of the three-match series here today.
