Sri Lanka vs West Indies, preview, head to head & match details

Sri Lanka would aim to make their best shot against West Indies at The Riverside Durham on Monday. Sri Lanka holds the 7th position on the World Cup points table with 6 points while West Indies is on 9th with just one victory and three points.

Sri Lanka that began its world cup campaign against New Zealand has lost its three games off the 7 while two against Pakistan and Bangladesh were abandoned due to rain. In its last match, Sri Lanka lost to South Africa in which none Sri Lankan batsmen got more than 30 runs and the team was booked at 203 with three balls reaming. With Nuwan Pradeep's exit (due to chickenpox), Sri Lanka will rely heavily on their bowling spearhead once again. Sri Lanka is now out of semi-final's race after England's win over India left them unable to finish in the top four.

The Jason Holder-led side, on the other hand, will look to finish on a high after being knocked out of the tournament. West Indies started its campaign with the victory against Pakistan but the team lost its track and lost all its games except the maiden victory that they got in the first match.
