Pre-Match Analysis:

Sri Lanka are on a different level compared to the rest of the sides in this tournament and won 6 matches in a row comprehensively. They got into trouble only once against Netherlands and still emerged victorious by 21 runs. With another team effort, they knocked down hosts Zimbabwe by 9 wickets on Sunday. Maheesh Theekshana and Dilshan Madushanka gave nightmares for Zimbabwe batters, picking up 7 wickets between them. Pathum Nissanka led the chase well, scripting his 2nd ODI ton and guiding his side home with 101 balls left. Having already qualified for the finals, they are likely to make changes for this match. They will be keen to extend their unbeaten run.

West Indies are undergoing a tough phase at the moment and got some relief with a comforting win over Oman by 7 wickets on Wednesday. Brandon King who was struggling to convert his starts into 3 figure mark was finally up for the task and scored a century in the winning cause. Earlier Romario Shepherd’s 3 wicket haul restricted Oman for 221 runs on the board. They played without their key players Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph who returned home to start their preparations for the home series against India. They need to show character when things are going against them.
