T20 World Cup: Sri Lanka thrash West Indies by 20 runs

Sri Lanka had set 190 target for West Indies in the 35th match played in Abdu Dhabi. Sri Lanka produced an inspired performance to win their final match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 and end West Indies’ hopes of defending their title.

With 190 to get and knowing that a win would only just keep them alive in the tournament, West Indies’ reply got off to an inauspicious start when Chris Gayle fell in the second over, plonking a catch to mid-off for 1 off 5.

Sri Lanka fans cheered in excitement as they got one step closer to the semi-finals.
