Sri Lanka vs West Indies

Defending champions Sri Lanka face West Indies in Group 1 encounter at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

West Indies have won the toss and chose to field.

Chris Gayle's fiery knock led the Windies to an emphatic victory over England in Mumbai and another convincing win here will almost seal their berth in the semi-finals.

The Lankans defeated Afghanistan in their first match courtesy to a fine half-century by senior batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan.

The Lankans however have lost their premier pacer Lasith Malinga owing to injury and will have to come up with a special effort to contain Gayle & Co.

The pitch looks a batting track and a high scoring encounter can be expected today.
