Sri Lanka vs West Indies Chance of Winning
Led by Charith Asalanka, Sri Lanka have a peculiar habit of ramping things up at home, but when they come face to face with another side that is searching for their soul, the carnage could be even harder. It must be kept in mind that Sri Lanka will be hoping to go all guns blazing in the time to come, and the Dambulla encounter will be the genuine next step in that direction.
On the other hand, West Indies skipper Rovman Powell will know he has a side that can topple anyone at any conditions. Fresh off the Caribbean Premier League campaign, most of the Windies players are in-tuned with the demands of the format. So they hold a pretty good chance of winning the encounter as well.
SL’s chance of winning is 57%
WI’s chance of winning is 43%

Sri Lanka vs West Indies Betting Tips
I am confident that Pathum Nissanka will deliver for his side big-time. The Sri Lankan opener knows a thing or two about playing long innings and against India, he was the biggest positive for the hosts. Wanindu Hasaranga knows a thing or two about bowling well in T20s, and that will come to the fore in the upcoming series. Can’t miss out on Shai Hope and Alzarri Joseph. They’re two of the Windies’ trump cards.

Sri Lanka Team Form
Sri Lanka have blown hot and cold in the last few matches, starting from the ICC T20 World Cup, in which they have won four and lost seven matches. However, in all games, they have shown glimpses of brilliance and hence, a successful series against the Windies can’t be ruled out at all.

West Indies Team Form
West Indies are coming into the T20I series on the back of an incredible run of form, having won 13 of their last 17 encounters without breaking a sweat. They did well in the ICC T20 World Cup, which they were the co-hosts of, and will look forward to continuing that surge.

Sri Lanka vs West Indies Betting Odds
Sri Lanka to score over 47.5 runs in the powerplay @ 1.88 (Batery)
With Pathum Nissanka at the top, I bet this is a market waiting to be won. Sri Lankan openers - Nissanka and Kusal Mendis - have done pretty well lately, averaging 34.85 for the opening partnership in the last six months. The average powerplay score for Sri Lanka has been 51.03, which indicates that we have a winner market in front of us.

Sri Lanka vs West Indies Best Batters
Nissanka to be Sri Lanka’s best batter (Batery)
Despite being pigeonholed as a first-class batter for a large part of his career, Nissanka has taken a giant leap to become a T20 superstar. He has amassed 3012 runs in the shortest format of the game, having averaged 27.13 and with a strike rate of 123.59. He has 21 fifties to his name, which made him such a superstar.
Shai Hope to be West Indies’ best batter (Batery)
From being an ODI superstar to a T20 powerhouse, Shai Hope has traversed quite a journey. In T20Is, he has 3189 runs at an average of 27.49 at a strike rate of 131.23, which tells you there’s everything right about him. He came back from a successful Caribbean Premier League season in which he scored 391 runs at an average of 30.07 with three fifties to his name.
Sri Lanka vs West Indies Best Bowlers
Wanindu Hasaranga to be Sri Lanka’s best bowler (Batery)
This doesn’t need any certification from our end. With 276 wickets in the shortest format of the game, Hasaranga has already carved a niche for himself, but what is even more important is the fact that he has averaged 16.84 in the format. He has eight four-wicket hauls and three five-wicket hauls in the format.
Alzarri Joseph to be West Indies’s best bowler (Batery)
Joseph is such a bright performer in the shortest format of the game, having taken 154 wickets at an average of 24.26 at a strike rate of 17.1 with five four-wicket hauls and two five-wicket hauls. Joseph is one of the most structured performers, who knows how to bowl fast and take wickets, a trait that may come to aid him in the upcoming series.
