DHAKA: West Indies skipper Jason Holder has won the toss and opted to field against Sri Lanka in the 39th match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street on Monday (July 1).

The match is scheduled to begin at 3:30pm (Bangladesh Time).

After winning the toss, Holder says. "Pretty good wicket.. Fresh wicket. We have to tighten up on. Have our pride to play for. Still aiming the perfect game. Told the batters to give yourself a fair chance to succeed."

"Would've liked to bowl too….We couldn't pass 250 often and no hundreds, those are the keys for our middle- and top-order. After the World Cup, we have to sit down and discuss what the future plans are. For now, we are focusing on World Cup," says Karunaratne.
