35th Match, SL v WI Group 1 (N), Abu Dhabi, Nov 4 2021, 7:30 PM IST ICC Men's T20 World Cup

[coffee_rules]

Evenly abled teams, WI should win this though if they bat first

 

 

Sri Lanka (probable): 1 Pathum Nissanka, 2 Kusal Perera (wk), 3 Charith Asalanka, 4 Avishka Fernando, 5 Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 6 Dasun Shanaka (capt), 7 Chamika Karunaratne, 8 Wanindu Hasaranga, 9 Dushmantha Chameera, 10 Maheesh Theekshana 11 Binura Fernando

 

 

West Indies may just stick to their winning combination from the match against Bangladesh. Though whether they bat Chris Gayle right at the top of the order, or lower down, remains to be seen.

 

 

West Indies (probable): 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Evin Lewis, 3 Roston Chase, 4 Shimron Hetmyer, 5 Kieron Pollard (capt), 6 Andre Russell, 7 Nicholas Pooran, 8 Jason Holder, 9 Dwayne Bravo, 10 Akeal Hosein, 11 Ravi Rampaul

5.33pm: West Indies have won the toss and will bowl first.

West Indies are unchanged. Only one change for Sri Lanka, with Binura replacing Lahiru Kumara.

 

As if anybody cares

Pathum tuktuking sucking all momentum carried by perera

Sri lanka would have created a lot of mess in other group.   This is a good enough side I think. 

WI ain't chasing even 150 vs their spinners.

SL were very unlucky in this tournament. First they lost against SA due to Miller special in the last over and against England they were set for the chase before Hasaranga and Shanaka got dismissed in quick succession. 

 

Could have secured 3-4 wins in Group A had luck gone their way. Even against Australia they batted well but bowling didn't click.

 

They performed well in almost every match of the tournament, unlike India who surrendered meekly against the Top sides in their group.

Asalanka and Rajapaksa are good enough to be playing in the IPL.

SL players are FIT

[Dery]

Cant believe Rampaul is still playing 

[Lone Wolf]

Asalanka Rajapaksa Chamika Hasranga Chameera Kumara & that mystery spinner Theekshana should be picked in next IPl auction.  Kusal Perera as well.

WI = retirement home

 

Need to rebuild ASAP

Hope none of them gets picked by RCB. They benched Hasaranga for freaking Christian and Garton lot... 

[sage]

what a catch 

[rollingstoned]

Don't understand why hetmyer won't even show intent. Happy tuk tuking and accumulating. 

[cricketfan28]

windies can blame it on ipl fatigue.

[speedheat]

Evn Karunaratne bowls 140kph.

[rageaddict]

Russel and Pollard should take Sanyaas from International Cricket .

 

Well done Hasaranga.

[dilliboy]

Looks like easy win for Australia in their final game to take them through to the semis

[cricketfan28]

even asif ali cant do anything now .. need tewatia.

[cricketfan28]

hasranag is winning so far .. rahul chahar is nowhere..

[rageaddict]

Whoever tried to smash Hasaranga loses his wicket. Kya bowler hai.
