ICC World Cup 2019: Match 39, Sri Lanka vs West Indies - West Indies' Predicted Playing XI

West Indies will look their second win of the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019 when they face Sri Lanka on July 1 (Monday) at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street.

The Jason Holder-led side has reached the end of a sorrowful campaign that has seen them win just one out of seven games while one ended in a complete washout. Though they have been impressive in parts, West Indies have failed to close out key moments in tight games. Things went downhill after a breezy seven-wicket win over Pakistan in their opening game, and they now sit just above Afghanistan in the points table, having lost out on the semi-final race.

They will look to play the same XI they played against India who put on a great effort despite losing the match.

Here is the predicted playing XI of West Indies for game 39 of the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019 against Sri Lanka at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street:

Sunil Ambris

Sunil Ambris looked good in his first World Cup game coming in as a replacement of injured Andre Russell. Ambris will look to play a big knock and put the Sri Lankan team under pressure.

More than himself, Sheldon Cottrell’s celebration has been a hit in the World Cup. The left-arm pacer will want to showcase his talent with the ball as the team from the Caribbean Islands look to surprise the opponents.
