This match will decide their final position in match not in this tournament because after this match both of them will leave the game. The reason is that both teams have very bad performance in their previous matches. As they performed not superior, so they do not qualify onward in this tournament. We can say that this will be their 2nd last play and this will be played at the Riverside ground, Chester-le-street. West Indies lost their previous match by India.
India beat West Indies by 125 runs before this and increases one more crash in their list. Sri Lanka won only two matches out of it seven played matches and lost three matches while their two matches were postponed due to rain. And West Indies team had won only a single play out of its seven previous matches and lost five matches by little amount of runs at the end of play. West Indies had performed better than the Sri Lanka in all matches but they would not qualify them in this tournament. They were reached at their success point but then they fall from this at the end.
Moreover, they will not qualify in this tournament even if they won their next two matches. West Indies have better batting as compared to the Sri Lanka and they also achieve best in bowling. Sri Lanka team is very poor in both of their batting and bowling we assume it their actual cause of failure in almost all matches. In the previous match of the Sri Lanka the South Africa team had won by 9 wickets with 76 balls remaining and they beat Sri Lanka very badly. This match is nothing more than just a formality for both teams.
The situations are critical and hopeless for both of them as they could not qualify now. So, the winning chances are more in the favor of West Indies because they contain better performance in team.
