World Cup Super 8, Guyana: West Indies v Sri Lanka
Start delayed, rain
The start of the Super 8 match between West Indies and Sri Lanka in Guyana has been indefinitely delayed by rain at Georgetown's Providence Stadium. 
Captains Brian Lara and Mahela Jayawardene were unable to appear in the middle for the scheduled toss at 1400 BST, and the forecast is bad.
Heavy showers are forecast for the next three hours in Guyana, making a truncated match a probability.
If necessary, Monday's reserve day is also available to complete the game.
When play begins, West Indies must tame a fired-up Lasith Malinga.
The World Cup hosts looked lethargic in defeats by Australia and New Zealand and urgently need a victory to revive their hopes of a semi-final place.
But they will not find it easy against a Sri Lanka side, who began the Super 8s with a narrow loss to South Africa.
They went down by one wicket after fast bowler Malinga claimed four wickets with four successive deliveries.
And he will be looking for early success against a mis-firing West Indies top order which has been over-reliant on skipper Brian Lara in the last two games.
"We are just not playing well as a team, especially in the batting department.
"We're not scoring significant numbers of runs, we've not made 250 in any of our five World Cup matches so far. We need to apply ourselves and need to keep the belief in our ability," said Lara, who may move up the order from number five.
Sri Lanka coach
"If we are going to win the World Cup, it's not just going to be [down to] one or two of them, or just me - it has to be the entire team," Lara commented.
Problems in the home camp have not been helped by comments from former fast bowler Andy Roberts accusing Lara and coach Bennett King of poor selection decisions.
Roberts is a member of the West Indies selection panel, but they have no input since the 15-man squad for the tournament was announced.
Lara responded by saying: "I don't think it is far to be critical at this juncture, when the West Indies is facing a crunch situation, needing to win all the remaining matches.
"All I can tell Andy Roberts is that I did not select the World Cup squad, I just go out and try my best with the players given to me."
They will surely recall fast bowler Jerome Taylor to face Sri Lanka, having preferred Lendl Simmons as an extra batsman against New Zealand - a decision described as "flabbergasting" by veteran Caribbean journalist Tony Cozier during radio commentary on the game.
Sri Lanka, meanwhile, are unlikely to be panicked into changes following the loss to South Africa, although they could recall Dilhara Fernando in place of Farveez Maharoof to provide extra firepower.
Their coach Tom Moody, a World Cup winner with Australia in 1999, said: "I'm not sure what the morale is like in the West Indies camp but if it's down I'm sure we'll take advantage of it.
"They've come off two losses so this is a big game for them but equally so for us, so we're going in with all guns blazing.
"We're aware they're under pressure and, given that they're a good side, that's the time they could come out and play their best game. So we've got to be on our guard."
West Indies had a lengthy team meeting after their defeat to New Zealand, when all the players were invited to have a say.
And Moody is also conscious that there might be some impassioned home support.
"They will have a lot of support, given that it's a crunch game for them, but that shouldn't have any bearing on us," he said.
