**Abu Dhabi, UAE:** Sri Lanka’s spinners orchestrated a stunning collapse, claiming nine wickets as West Indies were bowled out for a paltry 89 runs in their T20 World Cup match on Sunday. The Caribbean side were chasing a seemingly modest target of 163 runs, but were left reeling by the accurate and incisive bowling attack of the Sri Lankan spinners.
Dunith Wellalage was the star of the show, claiming 3-18, while Maheesh Theekshana (2-11) and Wanindu Hasaranga (2-14) also chipped in with crucial wickets. The West Indies batting lineup, which had looked shaky in previous matches, crumbled under pressure, never recovering from a poor start.
The victory, achieved with 10 balls to spare, secured Sri Lanka’s second win of the tournament, keeping their hopes of advancing to the Super 12 stage alive.
The West Indies will now face a must-win situation in their upcoming matches, with their chances of making it to the Super 12 stage hanging in the balance.
