The West Indies yesterday wrapped up a crushing win against Sri Lanka in their Test match in Antigua with Kemar Roach notching up a historic 300th wicket thereby joining an elite club.

According to CricInfo, Roach hurtled his way to his 300th Test wicket and Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph and Alzarri Joseph all troubled the Lankan batsmen.

The foundation for the victory was the Windies  mammoth score of 626 for 9 with Amir Jangoo scoring 233.

West Indies 626 for 9 dec (Jangoo 233, Chase 194, Rathnayaka 5-124) beat Sri Lanka 308 (De Silva 120, Chandimal 54, Greaves 3-39) & 101 (Chandimal 43, Roach 4-51, Seales 3-14) by an innings and 217 runs
