T20 World Cup: West Indies vs. Sri Lanka - 5 things to keep an eye out for

The West Indies take on the Sri Lankans in a high octane T20 World Cup semi-final clash at Mirpur, Bangladesh, on Thursday. I'm not going to go on and on about the usual 'Gayleforce' or 'Slinga Malinga'. This article focuses on the background factors which could turn the game on its head.

#1 Krishmar Santokie

Krishmar Santokie is an unorthodox medium pacer. He doesn't breathe fire like his Caribbean predecessors, but he has quite a few tricks up his sleeve. His spinning slower deliveries, swing bowling and slinging round-arm action can make batsmen bite the dust when they go on the attack. He has been pretty decent so far, picking up 6 wickets at an economy rate of 4.25. Can the Sri Lankans keep him at bay, or will they fall prey to the mystery? Only time will tell.
