West Indies vs Sri Lanka :Despite losing the toss, Sri Lanka got off to a shaky start with openers Pathu, Nisanka and Kushal Perera. The duo parted ways after scoring 42 runs in 5.2 overs for the opening wicket. Kushal Perera (29 off 21 balls) was dismissed by Andre Russell to give the Windies a breakthrough, but Asalanka and Nisanka put on 91 for the second wicket to give Sri Lanka the lead. It was in the 16th over that the Windies came to the rescue. By then, the score had reached 133.

Shanaka was unbeaten on 25 off 14 balls and Chamika Karunaratne was unbeaten on three off three balls. Asalanka’s innings consists of eight fours and a six. Asalanka was dismissed in the 19th over.
For the Windies, Andre Russell took two wickets for 33 runs in four overs while Dwayne Bravo took one wicket for 42 runs in four overs. With just one win in three games, defending champions the Windies need to win to retain their semi-final chances. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka’s semi-final hopes of winning just one of their last four matches had come to an end.
The Windies are out today with no changes to the team that played last game. Meanwhile, Lihara Kumar was replaced by Binura Fernando in the final XI. Australia and South Africa, who have won three of their last four matches, are currently second and third in the group, respectively. The Windies can look to the semi-finals if they beat Sri Lanka today, win their last match against Australia and beat South Africa against England.
