Match 35 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 will see the West Indies lock horns with Sri Lanka at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Thursday.
West Indies are playing the Sri Lankans in a do-or-die encounter. A victory will keep their chances of making it to the semis alive, while a loss will knock the holders out of the competition.
They have to win both their remaining matches, and ensure the results in the other games go their way. Moreover, they have to win both games with big margins to overtake South Africa and Australia on NRR, and make it to the next round of the competition.
Sri Lanka, meanwhile, have been knocked out of the tournament. They have only one win from four matches, and will look to end their campaign on a positive note. The Lankans will look to play spoilsport and knock the Windies out of the competition on Thursday.
