ICC T20 World Cup, SL vs WI – Kieron Pollard won the toss and has decided to bowl first

West Indies have won the toss and elected to bowl first. West Indies have lost two of their three matches so far, but they can still qualify for the semi-finals. They need to win their remaining games against Sri Lanka and Australia and hope other results go in their favour. Both the teams have played seven times in T20 World Cups with Lanka winning five of those clashes.

The pitch in Abu Dhabi will suit the batters. With dew expected to play a major role, the captain winning the toss will field first.
