Sri Lanka vs West Indies 3rd T20I Preview & Predictions with Latest Odds*
While West Indies did a good job in their chase of 180 in the first game, the pitch for the second T20I brought the Sri Lankan side back into contention.
Far from a high-scoring surface, there was enough on it for the second match to bring the spinners into reckoning. This was evident even when West Indies bowled with Gudakesh Motie and Roston Chase combining to bowl eight overs for a mere 37 runs.
Unfortunately for West Indies, the target of 163 was a mountain to climb as Dunith Wellalage ripped through their batting hearts. And now that Sri Lanka have smelled blood with their opponent’s obvious issues against spin, we can expect some more of the same come the third and the final game.
