Andre Fletcher (84 not out, off 64 balls) and Samuel Badree (3-12 in four overs) led the West Indies to a seven wicket victory against defending T20 world champion Sri Lanka in the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 Group 1 match at Bengaluru today.

Fletcher opened the West Indies batting because Chris Gayle could not bat because of a pulled hamstring injury.

The scores: Sri Lanka 122-9 (20 overs): Perera 40 (29), Badree 3-12, Bravo 2-20.

West Indies 127-3 (18.2 overs): Fletcher 84* (64), Siriwardana 2-33
