Sanath Jayasuriya thrashed 81 from 47 balls to set up Sri Lanka's 15-run win over West Indies on June 10 in the teams' final group match of the Twenty20 World Cup.
Both teams had already qualified for the second round.
West Indies, chasing Sri Lanka's 192 for five at Trent Bridge, managed 177 for five in reply with Dwayne Bravo top-scoring with 51.
They were left needing 28 from the last over.
Jayasuriya, 40 this month, added 124 from 78 deliveries with opening partner Tillekeratne Dilshan, who scored an equally rapid 74 from 47 balls -- his second consecutive fifty after his 53 against Australia.

Japanese invent car that runs on water
Tired of petrol prices rising daily at the pump? A Japanese company has invented an electric-powered and environmentally friendly car that it says runs solely on water.
Genepax unveiled the car in the western city of Osaka on June 12, saying that a liter of any kind of water -- rain, river or sea -- was all you needed to get the engine going for about an hour at a speed of 80 km (49.7 miles).
"The car will continue to run as long as you have a bottle of water to top up from time to time," Genepax CEO Kiyoshi Hirasawa told local broadcaster TV Tokyo.
"It does not require you to build up an infrastructure to recharge your batteries, which is usually the case for most electric cars," he added.
Once the water is poured into the tank at the back of the car, a generator breaks it down and uses it to create electrical power, TV Tokyo said.
Whether the car makes it into showrooms remains to be seen. Genepax said it had just applied for a patent and is hoping to collaborate with Japanese auto manufacturers in the future.
