Here is how CWC Super League points table looks like after WIvSL ODI series

The West Indies have grabbed a full 30 points in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League series against Sri Lanka after blanking the opposition 3-0.

The two-time World Cup winners had lost all three matches in their first series against Bangladesh but have caught up with Bangladesh, England, and Afghanistan at 30 points in the points table. This was the first WCSL series for Sri Lanka.

Reigning World champions Australia lead with 40 points in the Super League, which was introduced last year to add context to ODI cricket.

All sides play four home and four away three-match series with seven teams getting direct qualifying spots to join hosts India at the 2023 event.

The tournament features the 12 ICC Full Members and the Netherlands, who qualified by winning the ICC World Cricket League Championship 2015-17.

Teams get 10 points for a win, five for an abandonment/tie/no result, and none for a loss while points may be deducted for slow over rates in matches.

Sides are ranked according to total points earned and those failing to qualify directly will get a second shot through a Qualifier to be played in June and July of 2023.

Darren Bravo’s ton takes West Indies home

In the third ODI at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua, the Lankans put forth a much stronger show with the bat in hand. A number of their top-order batters got starts, but none could convert them. In the 32nd over, they were reduced to 151 for the loss of six wickets.

However, Ashen Bandara and Wanindu Hasaranga helped their team make a comeback. The duo put on an unbeaten stand of 123 runs for the seventh wicket in 18.1 overs. Bandara stayed unbeaten on 55 off 54, but it was Hasaranga, who did most of the damage with the bat in hand.

Hasaranga scored 80 runs off 60 balls with seven fours and three sixes. For West Indies, Akeal Hosein picked up three wickets. In their run-chase, Shai Hope got 64 runs and skipper Kieron Pollard scored a fifty as well. But it was Darren Bravo’s 102 that helped the Caribbean team to the clean sweep.
