The final game of the Super Sixes of the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers 2023 will see Sri Lanka lock horns with West Indies. The Harare Sports Club will be hosting this encounter.
Sri Lanka have already qualified for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. They are unbeaten in the Qualifiers so far and are sitting at the top of the points table. They beat Zimbabwe comprehensively in their last game and will look to repeat their performance in the final league game on Friday.
Bowling first, Dilshan Madushanka and Maheesh Theekshana picked up three and four wickets, respectively, as they knocked over Zimbabwe on 165. In reply, Pathum Nissanka smashed a brilliant ton as he remained unbeaten on 101 to take his side across the line in the 34th over.
West Indies, meanwhile, failed to qualify for the Cricket World Cup 2023 after losing to Scotland in their Super Six game. They have only two points to their name, thanks to a win over Oman in their previous game.
Romario Shepherd grabbed three wickets to help West Indies restrict Oman to 221/9. Brandon King (100) and Shai Hope (63*) put on a solid stand for the third wicket as the team chased down the total with seven wickets in hand.
