Sri Lanka vs West Indies Chance of Winning
Skipper Charith Asalanka and Kamindu Mendis have done well to give Sri Lanka hope, but for the hosts to do well as a unit, bowlers need to pull up their socks. You can’t win a T20 by conceding 107 runs for the opening wicket and something Asalanka will want his team to be cognizant of.
On the other hand, West Indies did everything in their power to win the game. So commendable was their impact in the opening stand that it virtually ensured the match was null and void right after the word go. The pace troika of Romario Shepherd, Shamar Joseph, and Alzarri Joseph have done really well to have the bowling unit in check.
SL’s chance of winning is 58%
WI’s chance of winning is 42%

Sri Lanka vs West Indies Betting Tips
Betting on Brandon King to do well in the upcoming match seems like a decent proposition. He has been one of the most consistent run-scorers for West Indies. Similarly, Kamindu Mendis has made himself such a prolific batter that format doesn’t elude him anymore. You have to bet on him to have maximum impact. What about the Sri Lankan skipper though? Asalanka knows delivering on the big stage is how he grows as a leader.
