West Indies took a big step towards the semi-finals of the World Twenty20 with a seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka.
Darren Sammy’s men produced a superb performance with the ball to restrict Sri Lanka to 122-9.
Samuel Badree took 3-12 and Dwayne Bravo 2-20 as regular wickets derailed Sri Lanka, with only Thisara Perera’s 29-ball 40 offering any resistance.
Andre Fletcher blasted an unbeaten 84 off 64 balls as the West Indies reached the target with 10 balls to spare.
It’s a second victory for West Indies, who beat England by six wickets on Wednesday, meaning they will qualify for the last four if they beat South Africa on Friday.
But defending champions Sri Lanka face a battle to advance, and their match against England in Delhi on Saturday now looms large, with the loser likely to be eliminated.
