WI vs SL Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Updates For Match 35 of T20 World Cup 2021
Despite having stars in their line-up, West Indies haven't performed to their true potential in this tournament.
Preview:
West Indies must win their last 2 matches by a massive margin to give themselves an outside chance of making it into the semi-finals. After two back-to-back losses against England and South Africa, they held their nerves against Bangladesh and sealed a 3-run victory in the final ball of the match. They have placed themselves at the fifth place in the Group 1 standings with 2 points and a net run-rate of -1.598.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are already out of the tournament. They would want to finish their campaign with a win. In a must-win game, they lost to England by 26 runs on Monday and knocked themselves out of the semi-final race. They need to rethink what went wrong in this tournament.
