THE PREDICTION
For West Indies, the equation is simple. Win here and they will finish in the top two of Group D courtesy of their superior net-run-rate and qualify for the Super League stage of the tournament. Sri Lanka could remain in the top two even if they were to lose this match, but must ensure they are not beaten by such an extent that their net-run-rate does not drop below that of West Indies or Australia. After a slow start to the competition, West Indies’ thrashing of Scotland showed that they are not to be written off just yet. Whilst the Sri Lankans head into this match as favourites, West Indies’ bowling attack are more than capable of causing their opponents serious problems here and with home advantage in their favour, backing West Indies to triumph may prove a shrewd move.
