Live Cricket Updates: West Indies won the toss and chose to bowl in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 clash in Durham. Both sides are knocked out of the tournament and they will be playing for pride. Kusal Perera and Dimuth Karunaratne started confidently and strung a solid opening partnership but Jason Holder got the big wicket of Karunaratne as the 93-run stand was broken. Kusal Perea notched up his third fifty in the tournament but he was run-out. Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis steadied the ship with a solid stand and there was a good contribution from Angelo Mathews. Fernando scored his maiden century as Sri Lanka reached 338/6 and West Indies would be hoping to create history by registering the highest individual chase in World Cup history. In response, Lasith Malingatook two wicket. Chris Gayle smashed 35 but could not carry on and the middle order stuttered.
