Trends & Recent Form
West Indies form
- West Indies won the first one day international by 8 wickets with 18 balls remaining. They batted second and got Sri Lanka out for 232.
- Jason Holder was the top bowler, with 10 overs, taking 2/39. Jason Mohammed took 2/12 but only bowled 4 overs.
- Shai Hope was the top batsman and took the man of the match award. He got 110 runs from 133 balls as part of a first-wicket stand of 143.
- This was a comprehensive win over the tourists and continued the trend for West Indies wins on this tour.
Sri Lanka form
- Sri Lanka has been struggling on this tour. It is clear from watching the matches that they are not at the same level as the West Indies currently.
- They won the toss and elected to bat first and started well putting on 102 for the first wicket. Gunathilaka was the top run-scorer with 55 from 61 balls before being inexplicably out for obstructing the field. Karunarante and Bandara also got half-centuries.
- Six players were all out without making 10 runs. The total of 232 never looked enough to defend on that wicket.
- With the ball, Sri Lanka did not take enough wickets. Of their bowlers only Dusmantha Chameera took 2 wickets, no one else took any.
- We are struggling to see how Sri Lanka comes back and get a win in the next match.

Match Prediction & Tips
We cannot see anything other than a West Indies win here but will not be backing them as the odds are far too short. Whilst Sri Lanka started well there is a clear gulf in class between these two teams. The West Indies should dominate again here and it looks like this will be a very uncompetitive ODI series.
Match Result: West Indies to win 2/5*
We will look for other markets for our picks for this match.
Open
- Pick 1: Top SI batsman Karunarathe 10/3 & Gunathilaka 7/2
We are back these two picks at equal odds and we just need one of them to be the top for the team to make a return. They were the top 2 in the last match and from what we have seen are the best batsmen in the team. Sri Lanka has performed well for the first wicket and this is a trend we can see continuing here.
