Sri Lanka vs West Indies 2nd T20I Preview & Predictions with Latest Odds*
Sri Lanka had gone into the first game of this series as favourites following their recent exploits across the other formats but West Indies cut them to size.
What coach Sanath Jayasuriya will need to find is a way for Sri Lanka to translate their form from ODIs and Tests into T20Is, especially against teams that are hard and long hitters of the ball.
A change in the pitch could help especially if it assists slow bowling but by the looks of things on Sunday, the Dambulla surface is conducive to stroke-play. Quick half-centuries off the bat of Kamindu Mendis and Charith Asalanka and then for Brandon King and Evin Lewis to add 107 in a mere nine overs underlined this fact.
Where the hosts could get some edge is if they can try to eke out an early wicket or two and expose the inexperienced middle-order. Will Rovman Powell and Roston Chase then find a way to make ample recovery for their team?
