Overview
- Sri Lanka were bowled out for 98 in 19.4 overs and the West Indies chased the target with five wickets and 23 balls to spare in the match played on June 21.
- Captain Chamari Athapaththu said she felt like "a failure as a captain" and expressed deep regret for never having led Sri Lanka into a World Cup semi-final.
- Sri Lanka conceded 23 extras and made wides, dropped catches and other fielding errors that significantly eased the West Indies chase.
- The defeat left Sri Lanka fifth in Group 2 with one win from three matches and they must beat Ireland in Bristol on June 23 and Scotland in Manchester on June 26 to retain a realistic chance of advancing.
- Athapaththu, 36 and a near-18-year international veteran who has played every T20 World Cup, said she will assess her fitness before deciding whether to aim for the 2028 World Cup in Pakistan, a choice that could prompt selection and leadership questions for Sri Lanka.
