WI vs SL: The men from the Caribbean are all set to go head-to-head against Sri Lanka in their upcoming Super 12 encounter of the T20 World Cup.
West Indies are walking into this encounter with a win over Bangladesh in their previous encounter. Courtesy of Nicholas Pooran’s fine 22-ball 40, West Indies scrapped their way through to a par total of 142/7. While defending, West Indies did an emphatic job at that as they ended up taking the match to the final over and won by 3 runs. Jason Holder was the pick of the bowlers with 1/22.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka are walking into this encounter with yet another defeat, and this time against the Three Lions. Wanidu Hasaranga did really well to restrict England to 163/4 with his 3/21. However, he couldn’t stop Buttler from scoring a magnificent 101* off 67 balls. While chasing, Wanidu Hasaranga was the top scorer with 34(21) but failed to get Sri Lanka over the line as they lost by 26 runs.
In the upcoming encounter, West Indies have a really good chance of sealing an amazing win.
