𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : South Africa vs Sri Lanka𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 05 ,Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Saint George’s Park, Gqeberha, South Africa𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd Test 2024 Can Sri Lanka put an end to South Africa’s dominance at home? South Africa vs Sri Lanka TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. RSA vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis The second and final Test of the two-match Test series between South Africa and Sri Lanka is about to commence on December 5 at St George’s Park in Gqebera. South Africa have taken an early 1-0 lead and have in the process, bolstered their chances of making it to their maiden WTC final by crushing the visitors by 233 runs in the Durban Test. History was made on that day as South Africa were able to overcome their jinx and register their maiden Test win against Sri Lanka in Durban. While both teams are still in contention for a spot in the WTC final, South Africa appear as strong favorites following their monumental win in the first Test. Head-to-Head Record: South Africa and Sri Lanka share a long yet rich history in Test cricket. In their 31-year-long Test history, South Africa have emerged victorious in 17 out of 32 Tests with Sri Lanka managing to win 9 of them. But in South Africa, the tourists have only managed to win on three occasions since 1998. Furthermore, in their last five Test fixtures, South Africa managed to have the upper hand as well winning 3 out of the last 5 Tests. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South African camp would be brewing in confidence after their famous win in Durban. Not only were they able to bury the ghosts of the 2019 Test defeat (which saw them lose the series), but the hosts have now made a statement with that win making them a force to reckon with in the WTC points table. Marco Jansen was simply unplayable in that match and delivered his career-best Test figures of 7/13 & 4/73 to power SA to a crushing win. However, the team has been rocked by injury updates as Coetzee and Mulder have both been ruled out for the rest of the summer. Experts estimate that the teenager Kwena Maphaka may get a go in their absence while the management would also be considering either getting Dane Paterson or Senuran Muthusamy to fill the second vacant spot. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka walked into the series with a lot of promise but their poor show with the bat in the first innings has raised questions about their overall resilience as a unit. The Lankan seamers featuring Kumara and the two Fernandos were breathing fire and caused a lot of headaches to the Proteas batters with the new ball. But when it was their turn to bat, Sri Lanka folded for their lowest-ever Test score of 42-10 with only two batters managing to get to double figures. From that moment, Sri Lanka were playing the catch-up game as SA batted effortlessly in the second innings and mounted a target of 516 which proved way beyond the reach of the visitors. Following their humiliating defeat, Sri Lanka would be forced to make some changes to their lineup. Sadeera Samarawickrama, being a technically astute batter has been a consistent performer for Sri Lanka across all three formats and he could be given a green signal. Weather Conditions We expect partially cloudy weather on all five days of the Test match with little to no rain threat. Temperatures throughout all five days are expected to be at a modest high of 27C but can drop to as low as 19C when the evening approaches. Overall, the weather is going to be warm with wind speed expected to be in the range of 20-35 km/hr. RSA vs SL Pitch Report The lively deck at St George’s Park offers prodigious assistance to the fast bowlers in the form of sharp pace and bounce. Moreover, the ball also has a tendency to nip around off the seam when the ball is new. As the Test match starts progressing to the latter stages, the natural deterioration starts taking effect as the cracks get longer making batting in the fourth innings a very daunting affair. From a batter’s standpoint, the ball will move around quite a bit both in the air and off the pitch and there will be no easy runs on offer for the most part of the Test. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have a slight edge. Whilst the average first innings score batting first amounts to a healthy 312, the score drops all the way down to 156 in the fourth innings. This highlights the extraordinary difficulty of batting last and keeping this factor in mind, teams should look to bat first and refrain from the possibility of chasing. In the 32 Test matches played at this venue the team batting first won 14 matches, while the team batting second won 13 matches.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 19, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele, Sri Lanka 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd ODI 2024 New Zealand’s challenge to avoid a whitewash Sri Lanka vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the third and final game of the ODI series and hosts Sri Lank have already won convincingly. In the rain-affected 2nd ODI, the Sri Lankans held their nerves to win the game by 3 wickets. They will aim for a clean sweep and ride on the momentum. The young New Zealand team has struggled on this tour, and they would like to avoid a series of whitewashes and end their Asian tour on a high note. Sri Lanka has dominated teams at home in the last few series. They have lost only once in the last seven games, boosting the team’s confidence. In contrast, New Zealand has always struggled in Sri Lanka. The batting lineup lacks experience in these conditions. It remains to be seen if the side can put up a strong show in this game and avoid a series whitewash. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Charith Asalanka will be pleased with how his team has gone about this series. They were favorites to win in home conditions and take full advantage of the dusty tracks. The bowling attack has done well for the side, but Asalanka expects a better show from his batsmen as they have struggled against New Zealand’s bowlers. New Zealand Preview Mitchell Santner’s team came to Sri Lanka with high confidence after the historic series win in India. However, it has been a massive wake-up call for the team that fielded several young players in this series. The Kiwis will fight for their pride with the series already in Sri Lanka’s bag. Their batsmen have struggled, and Santner would like to see a better performance from his batters. The top order hasn’t done well, and the side will need a good show from Will Young and Tim Robinson at the top. Mark Chapman batted well in the last game and must build partnerships with Glenn Phillips and Henry Nicholls in the middle order. Mitchell Santner, Mitch Hay, and Michael Bracewell are good finishers, and their role in this game will be crucial. Weather Conditions We would see overcast skies over Pallekele, and rain may cause disruptions. The wicket here has produced lots of runs in the past, as batsmen can play their strokes freely. The average first innings score here is 248 runs. The side batting first would be eying a total of 300 to feel safe. SL vs NZ Pitch Report Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is a big venue. We have seen batsmen score runs as the outfield is fast, and the ball comes to the bat nicely. Fast bowlers do well under cloudy skies and get the ball to move. The wicket here offers lots of assistance to the spinners as the ball grips the surface and turns sharply. Toss: To Bat It is a good wicket to bat on at the start, but it gets slower in the second half. The spinners will be difficult to bat against in the second innings. The side winning the toss would look to take advantage of the conditions by batting first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 17, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2024 Sri Lanka will be aiming to secure their ODI series against New Zealand at the earliest opportunity on Sunday in Pallekele. Sri Lanka vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis After rain knocked out over 23 overs of action in Dambulla on Wednesday, both sets of players, officials and supporters will be hoping for a full game of ODI cricket in Pallekele on Sunday. And after a drawn T20I series, it would be great to see 50 overs per side in this second ODI which, if won by the tourists, will setup a decider in the third and final ODI. Sri Lanka showed their experience of local conditions in the first match of the series with two batters making centuries and New Zealand will have to learn fast ahead of this game – easier said than done considering three of their XI on Wednesday were making their ODI debuts! TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka have built a strong group of batters and that was shown in the first match of the series when even with Pathum Nissanka contributing only 12 runs at the top of the order and Kamindu Mendis not even coming to the wicket at number seven, they were still able to post 324.5 from 49.2 overs. Avishka Fernando made a century alongside keeper-batter Kusal Mendis who top scored with 143 and currently holds the honour of the leading run scorer in international cricket in 2024! New Zealand Preview Considering there were three ODI debutants in the New Zealand team in the opening game of the series in Dambulla, the Black Caps will turn up in Pallekele knowing that they have plenty of players who can perform to a higher level in this match. Opening batters, Will Young and debutant Tim Robinson, impressed with a stand of 88 but there was precious little else from the experienced upper-middle order of Henry Nicholls, Mark Chapman and Glenn Phillips who will all be desperate to contribute more in this game. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, there could be some thunderstorms in and around the venue in the hours before the toss but currently it looks set to be dry throughout this ODI. The temperature is unlikely to drop below 23 degrees by the end of the match and will be as high as 31 degrees for the opening ten overs. SL vs NZ Pitch Report Pallekele is a wonderful venue to play international cricket but is one where the bowlers, particularly the pacers, have to work very hard for their wickets. It is usually a little easier for the spinners but overall it is a batter-friendly venue and we could well see team totals of 350+ in this game. Toss: To Bowl With each of the last four ODIs at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium won by the team batting second, we predict that both captains will go out for the toss wanting to bowl first in this game.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 13, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium, Dambulla, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st ODI 2024 Sri Lanka’s aim to continue with a good record at home Sri Lanka vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the first match of the three-match ODI series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. The two teams shared the honors in the T20 series, with New Zealand making a strong comeback in the second game after losing the first. The Kiwis have enjoyed a good tour of the subcontinent and shall look to build on the momentum as the Sri Lankans look to hold the fort strong. Sri Lanka is enjoying an excellent run at home. The team has lost only once in the last 10 games and has been a tough side to beat. They have a strong spin attack, which has troubled batters in these conditions. New Zealand doesn’t have a good record in Sri Lanka, and it remains to be seen if they can do things differently this time. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Charith Asalanka and his team have seen New Zealand’s strengths in the last T20. They will be up for a good fight in this game. The side defeated West Indies in the last ODI series at home, and the players will take inspiration from that. Asalanka expects a strong show from his players to take a lead in the series. New Zealand Preview Mitchell Santner will be proud of his team’s comeback in the last game. They started the T20 series with a loss but finished on a high. The team is missing some of its key players in this series, who are out with injury. Santner will look to lead from the front in this game and help his team to an early lead. Weather Conditions Dambulla will have overcast skies. The wicket is slow, which will likely make life tough for the batters as they will have to play well against balls that stop on them. Spinners would like bowling on this surface. The average first innings score is 212 runs, and the side batting first needs 300 on the board. SL vs NZ Pitch Report Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla, is a tough wicket for the batters as the ball doesn’t come onto the bat nicely. Fast bowlers don’t see any assistance from the surface, and they must rely on their skills alone. It has been a good hunting ground for the spinners in the past.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 09, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium, Dambulla, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20I 2024 Host Sri Lanka aim to continue their winning ways against New Zealand Sri Lanka vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis Host Sri Lanka will be looking to continue their winning ways when they take on New Zealand in the opening match of the T20I series played at Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium in Dambulla on Saturday. Under new head coach Sanath Jayasuriya, Sri Lanka has put together a number of good results across all formats. Captain Charith Asalanka will be hoping that the side can deliver a clinical performance with bat and ball in this fixture. On the other hand, New Zealand will be making their return to the T20 format after almost five months. Interim captain Mitchell Santner will be hoping that the side can adjust to the conditions and put on a decent show against Islanders. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview In the batting department, the side will be relying on the likes of Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera, Kamindu Mendis, captain Charith Asalanka and Bhanuka Rajapaksa to deliver the bulk of the runs. Since Jun 2004, Pathum Nissanka has topped the batting charts for Sri Lanka in the T20 Format. In nine matches played, Nissanka has accumulated 291 runs at a strike rate of 133.48 with two half-centuries to his name. New Zealand Preview In the batting department, the side will be depending on the likes of Glenn Phillips, Dean Foxcroft, Mark Chapman, Tim Robinson and Mitchell Hay to deliver the bulk of the runs. In the bowling department, the side will be relying on the likes of Zak Foulkes, Mitchell Santner, Lockie Ferguson, Jacob Duffy, and Ish Sodhi to deliver timely breakthroughs. Weather Conditions The average first innings score at Dambulla in the T20s is around 176 runs. The highest total posted here is Afghanistan’s 209 for 5 against Sri Lanka.The match was won by Afghanistan by just three runs. The weather forecast for Saturday’s game is far from ideal as thundery showers are expected to take place during the course of the match. SL vs NZ Pitch Report Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium in Dambulla is going to host the opening match of the T20I series played between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. New Zealand will take heart from the fact that they have last two T20s played against Sri Lanka. Toss: To Bowl Dambulla has proven to be a great venue for chasing, with two matches out of last three won by side batting second. With that record in mind, both the captains will be keen to win the toss and field first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs West Indies𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 26, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd ODIs 2023 Can Sri Lanka complete a whitewash? Will West Indies pick up a consolation win? Sri Lanka vs West Indies TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis Sri Lanka clinched the series with a dominant win in the second ODI, sending West Indies into a state of dejection. West Indies know what they need to do to push for a win, but their young team doesn’t quite have the ability to adapt to the conditions and start playing spin with more confidence. No wonder the visitors are still searching for their first victory in more than 10 matches in Sri Lankan soil. With a dead rubber, there’s hardly any pressure and they may pick up a consolation win but they will need to play at their absolute best to even come close to challenging the mighty Lankans in this form. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lankan bowlers have come to the fore and set things up nicely for their batters to come in and get the job done. Asitha Fernando, Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana—who walked into the XI at the last minute— bowled beautifully with intent to trigger a collapse and run through their batting order. At 58 for 8, the visitors were in deep trouble. Sri Lanka were hoping to mop up the tail and make short work of the chase, but Rutherford and Motie offered resistance bringing up a 119-run stand. West Indies Preview West Indies batsmen were left bewildered by Sri Lankan spinners in the second ODI, as well. Brandon King and Shai Hope looked to take the attack to the pace bowler Asitha Fernando, but it backfired against them in the end. Their wickets created an opening that the hosts spinners would exploit later on. West Indian batsmen were sitting ducks against the likes of Theekshana, Hasaranga on a slow, dry used surface. They couldn’t play out their full quota of overs and were skittled out inside 40. It could have been worse. Reduced to 58 for 8, the visitors had Rutherford and Motie come together and make some valuable runs for the 9th wicket, adding 119 runs to give their total a bit of respectability. Weather Conditions Scoring runs on the used wicket was arduous, as many West Indies batters found the other day. A new wicket is in order for the final match, but the conditions will mostly stay the same. And it could make run-scoring difficult early on, whether it’s pace or spin. It’s going to be cloudy and rain is predicted during the course of the game, and the bowlers will look to make the most of it. SL vs WI Pitch Report The match will be played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy where Sri Lanka picked up their 11th win in 14 matches a couple of days ago. Toss: To Bowl The chasing team had a leg up in both matches this series, so there’s a good chance that the team winning the toss would opt to field first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs West Indies𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 23, Wednesday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2024 Can Sri Lanka be stopped at all at Kandy? Will West Indies play their natural game to counter the Sri Lankan spin threat? Lions vs Titans TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis Sri Lanka drew first blood against West Indies in the first ODI at Pallekele to go 1-0 up in the three-match series. West Indies don’t have much time to dwell on what went wrong in the first game and need to find a way quickly to bounce back from a defeat and push the series into the decider. And this sets up the stage for what could be an exciting ODI contest between these two teams with contrasting fortunes. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka made headway thanks to a solid century-run stand between captain Charith Asalanka and the debutant Nishan Madushka. Considered a like for like replacement for Pathum Nissanka up top, the right handed batsmen eased into his position and played with such maturity to take his team through to a win. With the rest of the top order failing to score, Maduskha paired up with his captain and wiped out a huge chunk of the target at a brisk pace, scoring 137 runs in 18.1 overs to put Sri Lanka in the driver’s seat. He’ll look to cash in the upcoming games while Nissanka spends time off the pitch recovering from his injury. West Indies Preview With so many pundits expecting them to fold to spin again, West Indies put up a proper fight. Facing up to five spinners is a little too much to handle for the inexperienced squad, but they got off to a reasonable start, scoring 34 runs off the first 7 overs. After a watchful start, the opening pair Alick Athanaze and Brandon King lost their wickets quickly, with Hasaranga striking twice in a space of 12 balls. Weather Conditions Batsmen found it difficult to accumulate runs when the ball was gripping on a slow turning wicket, but chasing under lights was much easier with the ball becoming wet and all. With similar conditions forecast for the second match, getting to a par score isn’t going to cut it. And the team batting first would look to get up to a good total around 280 to 300, pose a challenge to the team chasing. SL vs WI Pitch Report The match will be played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium where Sri Lanka collected their 10th win in 13 matches a couple of days ago. Toss: To Bowl Electing to bat first seemed like a good choice early on, but Sri Lanka had it easy chasing down the score comfortably. Moreover, 6 of the last 10 matches at this venue were won by the team chasing. It’s not hard to imagine the captain winning the toss choosing to field first regardless of the threat of rain interrupting play.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs West Indies𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 20, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st ODI 2024 Will West Indies manufacture a way to overcome a formidable Sri Lankan side in their fortress? Sri Lanka vs West Indies TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis Having come back from behind to claim the T20I series, hosts Sri Lanka gear up for their next challenge — taking on a circumspect West Indies side in one of their strongest formats at home. West Indies, however, need to quickly regroup following their series loss. Preparing themselves for the gruelling ODIs ahead is going to take a big mental shift. Having bossed the opening T20, West Indies would be kicking themselves at not being able to carry their momentum from the first T20I into the second and third match. With a dominant win like that, they might have had their sights on rounding off a stellar year with yet another trophy to add to their cabinet. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview A come-from-behind series victory is always special and Sri Lankan players will feel positive heading into the ODI leg of the tour with a massive confidence boost. Making the transition from T20 to ODI shouldn’t be a problem for the hosts, because the core of the team is still going to be intact. There’s the impressive Pathum Nissanka up top, offering solidity. And partnering him will be Avishka Fernando with Kusal Mendis slotting in at #3 to keep the runs flowing early on in the game. West Indies Preview Having failed the Lankan spin challenge in the last two T20s, West Indies batters are now faced with the difficult prospect of taking on an equally dangerous spin attack on testing pitches in a longer format— and it doesn’t bode well at all for them. Besides, ODI is not a format that West Indies really fancy their chances in. They wouldn’t usually back themselves to win in the ODIs against most sides in the world, like they would in the T20s. Worse yet, with just 3 wins in 17 ODI matches in this part of the world, West Indies have always found Sri Lanka a tough place to visit. Weather Conditions This track has been predominantly good for batting, with the average score in the past 4 years ranging between 260 to 310. Batsmen, if they set up a platform seeing off the early spell from swing bowlers, can keep the scoreboard ticking over nicely. The wicket generally remains true to its character for most part of the match, however, at instances, has slowed down bringing spinners into play. Weather-wise, it’s looking good and the forecast for the game doesn’t stoke any concerns. SL vs WI Pitch Report A change in format and a change in venue too. Pallekele International Cricket Stadium will be hosting all the three ODIs of this series. The hosts have a successful track record of taking on their opposition here, with 9 wins from 12 matches in the past four years. Toss: To Bat Although the outcome of the toss doesn’t influence the result here, teams chasing have done well in day night fixtures, winning 9 out of 14 games, in which a game was abandoned and didn’t produce a result. Although Sri Lanka, of late, has had a tendency to bat first and put runs on the board, it would be interesting to see what they decide to do in this case.

India vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. 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 Dambulla’s 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 Lanka’s spinners would not be effective. But their batsmen didn’t 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 they’re 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 it’s 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 we’re 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 wouldn’t mind batting first again on this strip because they know they’ve more than a few spinners to try and put the West Indies batters under the pump in the second innings. West Indies wouldn’t want to read too much into their dismal effort with the bat in the second T20. It’s a fresh day and they’d be looking to chase with better intent and planning.
