West Indies elect to field

Published April 13, 2008

PORT-OF-SPAIN (Trinidad), April 12: The West Indies won the toss and chose to field in the second One-day International against Sri Lanka on Saturday here at the Queen’s Park Oval.

The West Indies lead the three-match series 1-0, after they won the opening ODI on Thursday at the same venue by one wicket, and have announced three changes to their side for the match which will be contested before a sell-out crowd.

The home team has brought in Sewnarine Chattergoon, Denesh Ramdin, and Daren Powell in place of Devon Smith, Patrick Browne, and Sulieman Benn.

For Sri Lanka, Kaushalya Weeraratne replaces Ishara Amerasinghe as the only change to their side.

The third and final ODI in the series will be contested on Tuesday at the Beausejour Stadium in St Lucia.—AFP
