West Indies won the toss and elected to field first. Sri Lanka put up 122 runs for the loss of 9 wickets. West Indies won the match by 7 wickets, thanks to a half century by Andre Fletcher. Chris Gayle couldn’t come to bat initially because of his injury but after the fall of 3rd wicket, he was coming out to bat but wasn’t allowed by the umpire because he had to wait for 12 more minutes at that moment.

See how Mathews does not play a shot in anger after few dot balls. Many batsmen must learn that.

The advancing paddle sweep to a thigh-high full toss may be a shot that needs a bit more work in the nets. #SLvWI #WT20

I repeat. Angelo Matthews as a captain is shit. Overrates the bowler within him. Not what you want of your captain #SLvWI

Sri Lanka look like the weakest of the Test playing nations (barring ZIM) in this tournament. Windies need to play some crazy cricket.

Toss is the most exciting part of India-Pakistan WC matches, captains get to decide if India will win by runs or by wickets.

Andre Fletcher currently has a Kohli pitch, a Gayle bat and a Root intent. #WT20
