The final game of the Super Sixes of the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers 2023 will see Sri Lanka play against West Indies at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on July 7. Sri Lanka, however, have already qualified for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India as they are unbeaten in the Qualifiers so far and placed at the top of the points table. They beat Zimbabwe convincingly in their last match and they will try to repeat their performance in the final league game on Friday as well.
Bowling first, Dilshan Madushanka and Maheesh Theekshana claimed three and four wickets respectively as they beat Zimbabwe on 165. In reply, Pathum Nissanka hit a brilliant ton as he remained unbeaten on 101 to take his side across the line in the 34th over as well. West Indies, on the other hand, failed to qualify for the Cricket World Cup 2023 after losing to Scotland in their Super Six game as well. They have only two points to their name, where they beat Oman in their previous game. Romario Shepherd scalped three wickets as it helped West Indies restrict Oman to 221/9. Brandong King (100) and Shai Hope (63*) added a partnership for the third wicket as it helped them chase down the total with seven wickets to spare as well.
The match will be televised on Star Sports Network (SS1 SD+HD). However, it will also be live-streamed on Disney+ HotStar and FanCode.
