North Sound (Antigua): A 192-run opening stand between Evin Lewis and Shai Hope and cool finishing by Nicholas Pooran steered West Indies to a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the second One-day International for a victorious 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Lewis made 103 and Hope 84 to set the strong foundation that allowed West Indies to overtake Sri Lanka’s 273/8 with two balls to spare. A middle order slump saw the home side slip to 233/4 and put them under pressure. But Pooran made an unbeaten 35 off 38 balls to steer his team home in the final over. Earlier, after winning the toss and batting, Sri Lanka slumped to 50/3 in the ninth over. — Agencies

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
