WC fever has changed into Hypothermia for Desis after exit of India and Pakistan. I was surprised to see no thread for todays match. So here it is.
Match starts 1330GMT
Venue Gayana
And considering the current from i think SriLanka should win.
Plenty to gain in a West Indian win

A West Indian loss to Sri Lanka will not technically conclude their semi-finals aspirations, but will certainly make the prospect extremely difficult. Not only will they then need to win three on the run, but will also have to hope all other permutations going their way. Conversely, a revived Windies team hold the potential to inspire fans to rally round them and infuse some much-need energy into the event, on the street and on the radio, in mini-buses and in rum shops - and, it is hoped, in the stands too.
Organisers expect a big turnout for tomorrow’s game, but Brian Lara’s current worries go beyond noise from the crowd. In familiar fashion, Lara chose an extraordinarily eccentric XI for Thursday’s dismal surrender to New Zealand, leaving out prime bowling firepower in the form of Jerome Taylor in order to play an inexperienced opening batsman in Lendl Simmons at No. 8.

It’s a pain to watch matches in super8..
…
Anyway, Sri Lanka has a clear edge in this match.
Considering West Indies future in WC rests on this match, they should try hard to pull a victory.
Down goes the World Cup.

Jaywardene just played a maiden 
Re: West Indies vs SriLanka
Lankans are settling well....
A score of 275 + would be difficult for WI to chase, when Murali, Malinga and Vaas are bowling.
Re: West Indies vs SriLanka
Jayasuriya has the highest no. of Sixes under his name now....he has moved ahead of Shahid Afridi.
Re: West Indies vs SriLanka
Even 250 would test the Windies on this biggish ground
Jayasuriya showing his full repertoire of attacking shots but also playing quite sensibly and intelligently
Jayawardene needs to push on now. As I am typing this Jaya smashes a six over mid-on bringing up the hundred partnership
140-2 off 28 overs

SL 136-2 in 27 overs 
Re: West Indies vs SriLanka

FOUR by Jaysuriya
Re: West Indies vs SriLanka
With this match, Jayawardene can regain his form....will be good for Sri Lanka against Aussies.
SL has a good chance to win the world-cup again.
