West Indies A 305 for 5 (Mohammed 105*, McCarthy 102) in 47 overs beat Sri Lanka A 248 for 7 (Gunathilaka 58) in 38 overs by eight runs (D/L method)Scorecard Bad light denied Sri Lanka A in Colombo as they fell eight runs short of the Duckworth-Lewis revised target of 257, conceding the one-day series 0-3 to West Indies A.An interruption due to rain in the 12th over had reduced the match to 47 overs a side. West Indies A made 305 for 5 in that time with centuries from captain Jason Mohammed and Andre McCarthy. But Sri Lanka A were taking a right tilt at the target. They needed 58 runs in 54 balls with three wickets in hand, and they had hard-hitting allrounder Dasun Shanaka at the crease on 32 off 26 when the umpires called the players off the field due to bad light. With no further cricket possible, Sri Lanka A were left agonisingly short.West Indies A, though, would have been thankful for the runs they had on the board. They had won the toss, opted to bat and found themselves at 59 for 3 in the 15th over before Mohammed and McCarthy joined forces. Their 163-run partnership not only revived the innings but put their team in a position of dominance. Mohammed finished unbeaten on 105 off 108 deliveries while McCarthy - from 6 off 13 - racked up 102 off 75, hitting left-arm spinner Sachith Pathirana for four fours in the 31st over.With a total of 305 on the board, West Indies A strengthened their hold of the game by allowing only one Sri Lanka A batsman - opener Danushka Gunathilaka - to cross fifty. But with the hosts at 166 for 6, their lower-middle order started fighting back.Pathirana and Shanaka hammered 51 runs in 33 balls for the seventh wicket and when West Indies A broke that stand, Nuwan Kulasekara and Shanaka bashed 31 in 13 balls to inspire hopes of a consolation victory. But it was not to be.Having lost the game by such a narrow margin, they may have wondered how things might turned out if their bowlers had pushed harder having reduced West Indies A to 59 for 3, or about how Charith Asalanka had eaten up 41 balls to make only 23.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- The Rio Paralympics have hit the midpoint, with its Brazilian hosts overcoming budget issues to stage what has been a successful games so far, with higher-than-expected attendance and scores of records.For those who are just tuning in, here are some eye-catching things to know about the global sports festival for people with disabilities.- TOPPING LONDON: The London Paralympics in 2012 set attendance records, but the Rio version is primed to outpace that event when it comes to setting new marks on the field. Through its sixth day, the Rio Paralympics have seen 132 world records fall, and 214 Paralympic records. The totals for London were 251 world and 314 Paralympic marks. Craig Spence, spokesman for the International Paralympic Committee, said the Paralympics are still developing, which accounts for the gaudy stats. Maybe in a generations time well see the number of world records reduce, he said, but at the moment we still see quite a lot.- PAY TO PLAY? In many countries, Paralympians get significantly less support than Olympians. The U.S. Olympic Committee awards athletes $25,000 for a gold medal. American Paralympic athletes get $5,000. Sponsorships can be tough to come by, too. U.S. cyclist Joe Berenyi won his fourth Paralympic medal, in 3000-meter individual pursuit, earlier in the games and was once nominated for an ESPY, but has not been signed by a major sponsor.- PRACTICE, PRACTIICE: U.ddddddddddddS. athletes Josh George and Tatyana McFadden are two of the top wheelchair marathon racers in the world, but its not easy. George and McFadden work out six or seven days a week, sometimes twice a day, on the track and on the road, logging a 100-plus miles a week. The athletes also weight train two or three days a week.- NOT IN THE OLYMPICS: There are two sports at the Paralympics that dont appear in any form at the Olympics. One is goal ball, in which athletes with visual impairments wear masks to completely block their vision. The athletes try to throw or roll the ball past the end line with opposing defenders trying to block the ball. The ball contains a bell so the athletes are able to react to the shot.The other game is boccia, the well-known game of skill in which an athlete or a team rolls colored balls as close as possible to a white target known as the jack.- POWERLIFTING: Another sport worth a mention. The ultimate in bench press, which is the only weightlifting discipline in the games. Lying on their backs, and strapped to the bench, competitors lift up to three times their body weight.---Brett Gravatt is a student at Penn State University.
