Rihanna Cheering On The West Indies At The Cricket World Cup Makes Us Wanna Watch Cricket 

The Bad Gyal was spotted watching the game in England.
By Essence · Updated October 23, 2020

While the world has its eyes set on Wimbledon, Rihanna is somewhere else in England, repping the West Indies during the 2019 Cricket World Cup.

The singer and beauty mogul, who’s originally from Barbados, was spotted inside England’s Chester Le Street Riverside Sports Pavilion, where the West Indies cricket team, known as the Windies, competed against Sri Lanka.

The team was thrilled that she showed up Monday to support, tweeting: “Look who came to #Rally with the #MenInMaroon today! Hey @rihanna!”

Still, it wasn’t enough that the Bajan beauty showed up in all white to support. The Windies fell 23 runs short, according to the BBC.

Thankfully for the men, Rihanna still dropped by their locker room after the game to meet them, giving out magical hugs, smiles, posing for pictures and even getting autographs.
