Match factsWednesday, 23 November Start time 0930 local (0730 GMT)Big PictureDespite West Indies big win in Harare, on paper, these are two well-matched teams with plenty to play for: the winner will be guaranteed their place in the tri-series final. The relative inexperience in both squads makes it hard to pick an out-and-out favourite, and conditions in Bulawayo should also be a leveller. West Indies tied game against Zimbabwe will at least have acclimatised them a little more to the pitch and conditions at Queens, as Sri Lankas first match was rained off.Sri Lanka also have some ground to make up against West Indies after their trouncing in Harare. Their middle order remains unproven, and if this series can be viewed as something of an audition for the upcoming tour of South Africa, there will be several young players hungry to state their case - particularly against the greater firepower of West Indies quicks.Youth and international inexperience are also in no short supply for West Indies at the moment. It is obviously very early days yet, but without a head coach, and with virtually all of West Indies established senior batsmen in the wilderness, young captain Jason Holder desperately needs his peers to gel into a new core for the side. Shai Hope and Kraigg Brathwaites promising form will give him something to build and bank on, while Carlos Brathwaites bowling has been fairly effective in Zimbabwe.Both for this team and for the immediate future of West Indies cricket, every win is an important one in these circumstances. Though still ninth in the ICC ODI rankings, they are just one point behind Pakistan, and a strong show in their remaining games will put them within touching distance of Bangladesh at No. 7. Between now and September 30, 2017, the cut-off date for direct qualification for the 2019 World Cup, West Indies currently have 11 ODIs scheduled (not including the final of this tri-series), but eight of those matches are against a resurgent England ODI side, and five of those are in England. Thats a tough assignment for what could still be a fairly inexperienced squad, and so West Indies have a lot more than a place in Sundays final to play for tomorrow.Form guide(Last five completed matches, most recent first)Sri Lanka: LWLLLWest Indies: TWLLLIn the spotlightShai Hopes good form will buoy West Indies, and make him a target for Sri Lanka, while Suranga Lakmal will have to be at his best behaviour after he was fined 50% of his match fee for aggressively throwing the ball towards Zimbabwe opener Chamu Chibhabha during Mondays wash-out. Yet, the spotlight might be focussed on what is happening above Queens, rather than on the ground.All three teams will have an eye on the weather on Wednesday. If there is another wash-out, Zimbabwe will effectively be out of the running, needing a massive bonus-point win to draw level and increase their net run-rate. The threat of rain also makes the toss important - inclement weather is more likely in the afternoon, meaning there could be Duckworth-Lewis permutations while chasing. Finally, the drainage issues at Queens mean that even relatively modest rain could rule a match out entirely.There are two main areas of concern on the outfield, should it rain again - on the northern side of the ground, and also near the sight screen at the Airport End. Should there be any significant showers during this game, in the absence of a super sopper, drainage will be an issue, especially after the heavy rains of the last few days have saturated the soil.Teams newsSri Lankas XI barely got a look-in on Monday, and given that conditions are likely to be identical, there is no reason for Sri Lanka to fiddle with their line-up. The grip on this slow surface makes Dasun Shanaka a good pick.Sri Lanka (possible): 1 Dhananjaya de Silva, 2 Kusal Perera, 3 Niroshan Dickwella (wk), 4 Kusal Mendis, 5 Upul Tharanga (capt), 6 Asela Gunaratne, 7 Dasun Shanaka, 8 Sachith Pathirana, 9 Nuwan Kulasekara, 10 Suranga Lakmal, 11 Jeffrey VandersayWith two wickets in his last five games, and none in this series, the form of Sulieman Benn will be a worry for West Indies. Aside from Ashley Nurse, the other spin option in their squad is Devendra Bishoo, and given his gritty performance in the Tests against Pakistan last month, this change makes sense. Another player they might want to give a game to is Jason Mohammed, the hard-hitting middle-order batsman, though West Indies may want to secure their place in the final before tinkering with their top-six.West Indies (possible): 1 Johnson Charles, 2 Kraigg Brathwaite, 3 Evin Lewis, 4 Shai Hope (wk), 5 Jonathan Carter, 6 Rovman Powell, 7 Jason Holder (c), 8 Carlos Brathwaite, 9 Ashley Nurse, 10 Devendra Bishoo, 11 Shannon Gabriel.Pitch and conditionsThe heavy downpours on Monday morning were followed by sunny and dry weather in the afternoon as well as the following day. Yet, the rainfall patterns at this time of the year are difficult to predict, and though the forecast suggests that Wednesday should be sunny and dry, some sort of precipitation is out of the question. Weather aside, there should be some early movement for the seamers who will be aided by cloud cover, as well as what appears to be a shade more green grass that has been left on the track for Wednesdays match. The track will probably still slow down to help the spinners later in the day.Stats and triviaWith 148 runs from two innings, Shai Hope is the leading run-scorer of the tri-series as well as the only century-maker.Shannon Gabriel, Carlos Brathwaite and Nuwan Kulasekara top the wickets table with five each, although Kulasekara has played one more (albeit truncated) game than the two West Indians.West Indies have played six ODIs at Queens Sports Club, winning three.In eight ODIs against West Indies, Kulasekara has taken 12 wickets at 22.08.QuotesWe know were playing good cricket. We had a good win against Sri Lanka [in Harare]. These lads work very hard on their fitness, and we do a lot of fielding drills in the days leading up to these matches, and the combination of those two things is starting to pay dividends. Were looking like a good fielding side, and at this level of the game, every run you stop is a run you dont have to score.

LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string.A week ago before their final regular-season games, San Diego State and Wyoming knew they would be playing this weekend for the Mountain West Conference championship.And both teams looked bad: San Diego State lost at home to Colorado State 63-31, while Wyoming fell at New Mexico 56-35.So were both coming from the same situation and whichever team rebounds the best is going to win it, Aztecs coach Rocky Long said.And which team has the shortest memory.If we linger in that rear view mirror, were going to let one team beat us twice, said Cowboys coach Craig Bohl, who was named the Mountain Wests coach of the year for leading Wyoming back from a 2-10 season in 2015.San Diego State (9-3, 6-2 Mountain West) travels to Wyoming (8-4, 6-2) on Saturday afternoon to determine the conference title.It is the second meeting in three weeks between the two teams. The Cowboys beat the Aztecs 34-33 on Nov. 19 during the regular season when Long went for the win on a two-point conversion with no time left and it failed.Things to know when Wyoming hosts San Diego State:DEFENDING CHAMP VS NEWBIE: The Aztecs are seeking to repeat as conference champions and to win their third league title in five years.Wyoming is playing in its first Mountain West Conference title game. The Cowboys have to go back to their days in the Western Athletic Conference to find their last conference title -- 1993 when they shared the regular-season title with BYU and Fresno State; and their last outright conference title -- 1988. Also, its the first postseason game ever at the 67-year-old War Memorial Stadium in Laramie.Thats a lot of water under a bridge, Bohl said. And we got one shot. We got one shot at this deal and so that comes down to us as coaches to maneuver this thing around to put ourselves in the best position to win it.GROUND GAME: Saturdays game features two of the top five running backs in the country.San Diego State running back Donnel Pumphrey is second in the nation in rushing yards with 1,908 and rushing yards per game at 159.ddddddddddddHe is third in all-purpose yards with 2,119. He is currently third on the NCAA career rushing list with 6,180 yards. He needs 153 yards to pass Ricky Williams for second and 218 yards to surpass all-time NCAA rushing leader Ron Dayne. However, yards have been tough to come by the past couple of weeks for Pumphrey, who was held to 53 yards against Colorado State and 76 yards against Wyoming on Nov. 19.Wyomings Brian Hill is No. 5 in the nation with 139.5 yards per game and No. 3 with 21 rushing touchdowns. Hill had 131 rushing yards in the first meeting with the Aztecs.COACHING CHALLENGE: Playing a team twice in one season is new to Long, who is in his 17th season as a college head coach.Ive never played the same team in the same year, Long said. ...Its kind of a weird deal. From year to year, you try to change things up, so they dont zero in. But in two weeks, I dont know how much you can change up because you confuse your own guys if you change up too much.Bohl has faced the situation during his coaching tenure at the FCS level.I can tell you this -- when you beat a team its hard to beat them twice, he said. Its not like its not doable, but you look through past years, that ones a tough order.WEATHER: Cold, windy weather could play a role in the game.The National Weather Service is predicting temperatures around 20 degrees at kickoff along with 15 to 25 mph winds gusting up to 30 mph. Wind chills at kickoff are expected to be around 5 degrees.While Long said his Southern California squad should be able to handle the cold, he said the wind is a different story because it can cause issues for quarterbacks, receivers, kickers and kick returners.If you have a lot of wind, it really increases the difficulty of the game, and makes it more likely of mistakes, Long said.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25[wind is a different story because it can caus ' ' '
