SL vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis Sri Lanka and West Indies are all set to square off against each other in the series decider to see who walks away with the trophy. The third T20 of the series gets underway in Dambullaβs Rangiri stadium on the 17th of October, with the series hanging in the balance at 1-1. West Indies stunned Sri Lanka with a powerful batting display in helpful batting conditions to take a 1-0 lead in the series. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lankan players, their spinners in particular, showed strong character and bounced back in style with an emphatic win in the second T20 to keep the series alive, following a disappointing loss in the first. West Indies Preview The dichotomy of the West Indies batting attack never ceases to amaze. In the first T20, their openers put on an exhibition of brute-force batting to make short work of a 170 chase on a good batting strip where they knew Sri Lankaβs spinners would not be effective. But their batsmen didnβt bother fighting and surrendered meekly to the same spinners on a typical Sri Lankan wicket that spun more than expected. They were skittled out for 89, exposing that theyβre still vulnerable to quality spin in trying conditions. With the series on the line, the third T20 is going to feature another spinning wicket so itβs hard to tell which West Indies line-up would turn up on the day. Weather Conditions The wicket took spin from ball one, making it difficult for run scoring. New batsmen can find it incredibly hard to walk in and start scoring straightaway, as spinners and pace-off bowlers can be tricky to negotiate in the middle overs. If a used surface with low and slow bounce gets served up, spinners will feel right at home. The weather forecast for the game is clear and weβre in for an exciting finish to this T20 series. SL vs WI Pitch Report The match is all set to happen at Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium. Toss: To Bowl Setting a total has a definite advantage in this venue, where teams batting first have won four out of five games. Sri Lanka batted first in both matches, but they applied themselves to a difficult pitch to get up to a more than par score. They wouldnβt mind batting first again on this strip because they know theyβve more than a few spinners to try and put the West Indies batters under the pump in the second innings. West Indies wouldnβt want to read too much into their dismal effort with the bat in the second T20. Itβs a fresh day and theyβd be looking to chase with better intent and planning.
