SLC XI v West Indies - 50 over List A match 1991/2 - Khetterama Stadium, Colombo

Pitch: 7 - Uneven - assists all bowlers

Weather: 6 - Hot and sunny

Toss: West Indies

West Indies won the toss and elected to bowl first, and a disciplined display by all their bowlers restricted the SLC XI to 144/8 from 50 overs.
Walsh took 3-30 to lead the way among the bowlers, but they all played their part.
In reply West Indies slipped to 58/4, and with a suspect middle order under pressure it appeared the home side were in the game.
An unbeaten half century to Man of the Match Richardson settled things in partnership with Lambert, handing West Indies a comfortable enough 6 wicket victory.
It was set up by their bowlers, but it needed the cool head of Richardson to see them home after another inconsistent batting performance.

West Indies won by 6 wickets
