Women’s T20 WC: West Indies Opt To Bowl First With SF At Stake
T20 World Cup: West Indies won the toss and elected to bowl against Sri Lanka in the 17th match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup here at County Ground in a fixture that will probably decide the fate of Group B with a spot in the semi-final at stake.
West Indies head into today's contest with momentum firmly on their side after opening their campaign with back-to-back victories. While neither win came without anxious moments, particularly their hard-fought escape against Scotland, they have still managed to collect four valuable points. Another success today would leave them well placed in the race for a semifinal berth from Group B.
Sri Lanka have recovered impressively after a difficult start to the tournament. Following a one-sided defeat against England, they produced one of the biggest surprises of the competition by toppling defending champions New Zealand. That result has revived their campaign, and another win this afternoon would draw them level with West Indies on points, adding another twist to an already competitive group.
