ICC World T20 Bangladesh 2014

SL kinda losing their way after an crazy start, but they still have a very solid platform to tee off from. This will be an interesting chase for windies if they can hold SL to within 160. Anything over that might be a bit too much even for this lineup.

It being a knockout, 150 and above would be a very competitive total, especially given SL's spinner heavy att and Malinga. Of course dew could be an issue, but I think Sl would be favs if they get 150 and above.

 

[abhi_jacko]

Well yeah. You could be right

But if WIndies don't need to look too far for inspiration. SAF and Eng had piled up big runs against SL only last week. Plus WI smashing Pak into submission and ripping apart Ajmal will give them some confidence too

- LOL. they made exactly 160. This will be fun. WI could combust or they could blaze away. Whichever way they choose, it is bound to be spectacular since its Windies

 

[Samuels]

Gayle always looked as if his ankle was still a tad too sour too move his feet. Not many might like it but I think it was good that he got out. You can see singles starting to come straight away now that Simmons is on the crease. That is what WI needs at this stage; keep the scorecard ticking.


Another wicket down! This is starting to look bad now.

 

[abhi_jacko]

Samuels has been pretty disappointing until now. Maybe tonight is his night

--

I guess its the spectacularly combusting West Indies batting that has shown up today

So windies are almost out of this match #Pressure

Marlon Samuels has been very disappointing to watch in this tournament. He is just not able to rotate strike and also can't hit the big shots right now. I just hope that he does not throw his wicket away now. Sri Lanka's fielding has also been excellent.

 

[grkrama]

as long as they get another 20 odd runs and not loose a wicket in next 3 overs they would still be in the game

I am not ruling them out. Bravo is still in there, and Sammy is yet to come. And Samuels is also a dangerous guy.

Bravo is the key here. He is a mighty dangerous player. He and Sammy ransacked 82 off 5 overs vs Pakistan, who are probably among the top bowling attacks in T20 cricket.

 

[Aalay]

On the other side, Bravo has been absolute class in the last two matches at least.

If SL don't find a wicket or two in the next 2-3 overs, WI are winning this.

But it doesnt look like windies are trying to go to the finals..Its over for me now luck will only save them

 

[Aalay]

And this is what happens when you partner is not making runs. Too much pressure on Bravo to go for those big shots.

 

[SaiSrini]

SL get a big fish! Match tilts massively in favor of SL. This should now become very tough for WI.
