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 IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : 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.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs West Indies𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 17, Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium, Dambulla, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 3rd T20 2024 With Sri Lanka coming back from behind to draw level, who’ll take the win in the decider? Can West Indies still find a way to make runs against quality spin? 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.

    𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :Sri Lanka vs West Indies𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 15, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium, Dambulla, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 2nd T20I 2024 Can Sri Lanka bounce back with a win and push the series into a decider? Will West Indies beat Sri Lanka and win another bilateral series win to cap off an excellent year in the shortest format? 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 West Indies and Sri Lanka will face off in the second match of the series at Dambulla on Tuesday night. There’s a lot of similarity between these two Island nations. A new coach has taken charge of each side. Both sides had a very ordinary T20 world cup. They showed a lot of promise in white ball cricket at home of late though, with West Indies winning the series against South Africa and India, and Sri Lanka dominating Zimbabwe and Afghanistan. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka, put into bat, got their innings underway smoothly. Boundaries were hard come by initially, but the openers still kept the scoreboard ticking along nicely to get to 17/0 off the first couple of overs. Pathum Nissanka perished flashing at a wide one in the third, and Kusal Perera followed him to the hut pretty soon after losing his pole to a brilliant ball from Shamar Joseph. West Indies Preview West Indies openers Brandon King and Evin Lewis brought out a complete onslaught, making vital fifties to steer their chase towards the target. They tore into the hosts attack and were determined to go after the bowlers in the powerplay throwing caution to the wind. They shaved 74 runs off the target inside the powerplay, but kept going after the Sri Lankan bowlers without relenting. Weather Conditions Batters make merry on the strip here in Dambulla. If you look at the statistics from Men’s and Women’s T20I cricket here, the surfaces here have generally suited batters more. And if the bighitters find their range and get going fair too quickly, it’s going to be hard stopping them. The conditions for the first game were wasn’t ideal with a bit of drizzle around at different instances during the game, and the forecast suggests we are in for similar conditions for this fixture. SL vs WI Pitch Report The match is being played at the Rangiri Dambulla Stadium. West Indies will take heart from their dominating performance from the first game, while Sri Lanka will have to look to quickly reorganize and come back hard. Toss: To Bowl In this year so far, West Indies have gone on to win 8 out of 11 matches fielding first. With an impressive win record like that, they’re not going to back off from chasing a score if they win the toss. Sri Lanka’s two wins against West Indies in recent matches have come whenever they have defended a total. They were poor in defence of 180 in the first match and wouldn’t mind pushing West Indies out of their comfort zone, which is chasing totals.

    𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs West Indies 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 13, Sunday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium, Dambulla, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 1st T20I 2024 Can Sri Lanka return to winning ways at home? Will a new-look West Indian side continue to fight with the same intensity? India vs Bangladesh 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 meet for what will be the first of three T20Is at Dambulla. Sri Lanka have had a dreadful time in this format in the past few months, winning just 3 out of 10 matches. They had won 4 out of their 5 games before that. West Indies, on the other hand, have played some exciting T20I cricket. They’ve been far more successful this year than in the past, winning 12 out of the 16 games they’ve been involved in. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka, following a dismal end to their world cup campaign in West Indies, are rebuilding for the future. Having gone down to India 0-3 at home in July, they’re now facing the prospect of challenging a team like West Indies at home with a fairly strong squad with the right mix of youth and experience. Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera have made their spots in the top order their own. West Indies Preview West Indies have had a phenomenal run in T20Is this year, winning more than 80% of the encounters they’ve partaken in. Although there will be some key names missing for the Windies, including Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russel, Shimron Hetmyer, the men in Maroon have enough reinforcements heading into this series. Weather Conditions Dambulla is a strip for the batters. The average run-rate this year is 8.85 and the lowest score by a team batting first is 160. More than 200 runs has been breached twice in the last three, with the average powerplay score around 55. Bowlers’ odds of striking could go up with the batsmen playing freely looking to maximize scoring opportunities early on. Swing and seam bowlers could make breakthroughs with the new ball when operating on the right line and length. The weather in Dambulla seems to be alright at the moment, but it’s Sri Lanka and the conditions might quickly deteriorate here. SL vs WI Pitch Report The Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla will be hosting this contest. Sri Lanka has played 3 T20Is at this stadium and won two of them. Afghanistan posted 209/5 the highest first innings score here earlier this year and Sri Lanka nearly completed a successful chase but fell short in the end by 3 runs to finish with 206/6- which is still the best effort by a chasing side. Toss: To Bat Playing at a venue where teams batting first have won all the three matches, it’s quite simple to work out what to do. Win toss, elect to bat first and make first use of the conditions, and post a big score. This blueprint has brought success here, so we reckon that the toss winning captain would opt to bat first.
