WI vs SL Head to Head Records, West Indies Head to Head Record Against Sri Lanka – ICC T20 World Cup 2021 Match 35. West Indies and Sri Lanka will be up against each other in an intense battle in the T20 World cup 2021. This game will be very important in the context of the defending champions who are looking to get back to winning ways.

West Indies have been very poor so far in both the batting and bowling departments and they came into the tournament as one of the contenders for the title. They have been nowhere near to their potential and Kieron Pollard had somehow pulled his team back to a crucial win in their previous game against Bangladesh. They will face a stiff challenge from the likes of Sri Lanka who will have nothing to lose from here on.

The Island nation was officially knocked out of the T20 World Cup 2021 with the loss against England and they will be playing for pride in the upcoming game against West Indies. They have a lot of match-winners in their squad now and the youngsters have put up a good performance so far. Despite their mixed tournament, they will be hoping to better their performance in the next T20 World cup which is not far away.
