WI vs SL 2nd T20I Prediction: West Indies have begun the T20 series against Sri Lanka with a five-wicket win. Another win and they will seal the series. However, the hosts won’t let that happen too easily and are expected to return strong. One thing that they would look to work on is putting more runs on the board.
The second T20 international is scheduled to take place in Dambulla on 15th October 2024. It is going to be a cracker of a contest.
Sri Lanka Team Preview
Sri Lanka posted 179 in the first game. Top-three faltered but Kamindu Mendis continued to impress.
The southpaw played a valuable knock of 51 off 40. Skipper Asalanka joined him and the duo led the team’s fightback. He scored 59 off 35.
Both are must-have picks for your fantasy team. Sri Lanka would expect the opening duo of Nissanka and Kusal Mendis to come good tomorrow.
Sri Lankan bowlers couldn’t pick a single wicket in the first nine and the game was done and dusted by then. Pathirana and Hasaranga picked a wicket each in consecutive overs and Sri Lanka tried to get into the game but to no avail.
Heading into the next game, Pathirana, Hasaranga, and Maheesh Theekshana should be expected to create an impact.
West Indies Team Preview
West Indies might have won the first game, but there are certainly areas where they need to work on. Alzarri Joseph and Romario Shepherd scored more than nine runs each, while Shamar Springer scored 12 runs each.
The trio need to come up with better figures. Romario Shepherd’s all-round prowess makes him a handy pick for fantasy, while the likes of Shamar Joseph and Alzarri Joseph are natural wicket-takers. Given the fact the pitch would aid spinners, Gudakesh Motie becomes a valuable pick as well. He picked one wicket in the last game.
The opening duo of Brandon King (63 off 33) and Evin Lewis (50 off 28) helped the team earn a five-wicket win. The other batters, however, faltered in the chase. It will be interesting to see how the batting unit performs in the next game.
