Colombo: Sep 22, 2012
West Indies captain Darren Sammy won the toss and opted to bat first agaisnt Australia in the Group B match of the ICC World T20 at Colombo on Saturday.
Having registered a comprehensive win in their World Twenty20 opener, Australia would aim to seal a Super Eight berth when they take on the flamboyant West Indies in a Group B encounter at the R Premadasa Stadium.
However, it won’t be an easy task for George Bailey’s boys as they are up against a formidable Caribbean side which boasts of big-hitting Chris Gayle and mystery spinner Sunil Narine in their ranks.
Led by Shane Watson‘s heroics, with both bat and ball, Australia made easy work of an unpredictable Irish side as they cruised to an easy win in the campaign-opener. But come Saturday, the contest is definitely going to be more intense.
