Sri Lanka vs West Indies Chance of Winning
Sri Lanka are not necessarily a bad T20 team anymore. With the sudden influx of many talented players, they have become a very potent side. Take the second T20I for example. After the batters provided a decent base, the likes of Maheesh Theekshana, Dunith Wellalage, Charith Asalanka, and Wanindu Hasaranga did what any good side would do to win the game. Hence, they are in it for the final T20I and secure a stunning win.
Can the Windies deliver on the promise and ensure things are even? Well, in the second game, only Rovman Powell could muster more than 20 runs with the bat, and think what? He was dismissed for 20. That tells you about the state of Windies batting. However, their bowlers are still in very good shape, and we can expect a fair fight in Dambulla.
SL’s chance of winning is 61%

Sri Lanka vs West Indies Betting Tips
I am extremely hopeful on Pathum Nissanka - Sri Lanka’s man in form - to do well in the upcoming clash. Nissanka is such a powerful hitter of a cricket ball, but more than that he has married consistency at an impeccable level. You can’t sign off the all-round impact of Rovman Powell as well as the batting brilliance of Brandon King. I am not leaving out Wanindu Hasaranga or Maheesh Theekshana - for the impact they bring is beyond comprehension.

Sri Lanka vs West Indies Betting Odds
Sri Lanka to score over 47.5 runs in the first six overs @ 1.88 (Parimatch)
Pathum Nissanka has held the Sri Lankan batting line-up together with such a conformity mindset that it’s hard to bet against him. He has added that element of strike rate to his approach, which ensured that Sri Lanka crossed the 48-run mark seven out of the last 10 times. That’s such a good record to boast, and hence, we’re hopeful that Sri Lanka will comfortably cross that mark in the next match.

Sri Lanka vs West Indies Best Batters
Pathum Nissanka to be Sri Lanka’s best batter (Parimatch)
Pathum Nissanka is one of the most consistent batters in the format, having scored 3077 in T20s at an average of 27.23 and a strike rate of 123.27. He already has a century and 22 half-centuries in the format, making him such an impactful performer. In T20Is, he has amassed 1483 runs at an average of 28.51, which makes him such a wild batter. Then what’re you worried about?
Shai Hope to be West Indies’ best batter (Parimatch)
Shai Hope has 3196 runs at an average of 27.31 at a strike rate of 131.23 in his T20 career. He has slowly become a very reliable batter in the shortest format of the game, which recently translated into a successful Caribbean Premier League season in which he scored 391 runs at an average of 30.07 with three fifties to his name. So trust him to do well. Even though his performance in the last game wasn’t as good as he would have liked, we can trust him to deliver.
Sri Lanka vs West Indies Best Bowlers
Wanindu Hasaranga to be Sri Lanka’s best bowler (Parimatch)
What Wanindu Hasaranga can do in T20s is not in doubt. He has already taken 279 T20 wickets at an average of 16.91 at an economy rate of 6.91. He has eight four-wicket hauls and three five-wicket hauls in the format - including a solid two-fer in the last game. Then what’re you waiting for? Go ahead and place your bet.
Gudakesh Motie to be West Indies’s best bowler (Parimatch)
Gudakesh Motie has progressed like a king in the shortest format of the game, having taken 75 wickets at an average of 21.56 and a strike rate of 17.8 in the format. With the Sri Lankan wickets supporting spinners, there’s a good reason to believe that Motie will be one of the most important cards for the Caribbean side in the upcoming clash.
