Sri Lanka beat the West Indies by 113 runs in the Super 8 phase of the World Cup at the Providence Stadium, Georgetown, Guyana.
This was a crucial game for the West Indies as they had already suffered defeat in both their previous Super 8 games, against Australia and New Zealand. Sri Lanka too had lost out to South Africa in their previous Super 8 encounter.
Toss: West Indies won, and elected to field first.
