Defending champions West Indies will be desperate to address their batting woes and keep their slim semi-final hopes alive when they take on an inexperienced Sri Lanka in the T20 World Cup here on Thursday.
After two back-to-back defeats, West Indies managed to revive their campaign with a scrappy three-run win over Bangladesh. The two-time champions' chances of reaching the semi-finals look very slim, but they aren't out of the race just yet.
They not only need to win their last two fixtures to stay in the mix for the semis, but also require dominant victories to improve their net run rate, which is the worst in the group.
