After clinching the three matches of the T20I series by 2-1, the Sri Lanka cricket team turned their head towards the One Day Internationals as they set to lock horns against the West Indies in the three matches of the ODI series, set to commence from October 20 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy.
West Indies have had a great start to the T20I series but the hosts bounced back very well to win the second and third games to grab the series. Charith Asalanka and his men carry momentum with them, heading into the forthcoming ODI series. The host’s biggest strength seems to be their spin department, which makes them top favorites here.
It’s worth mentioning that Charith Asalanka led the Sri Lanka team has recently thwarted Team India in the ODI series by 2-0 which was played in July and August. Notably, the West Indies cricket team needs to address their batting against Islanders spinners, or else they might lose in the ODI after losing in the T20I series.
The Lanka Lions are placed at the seventh spot in the ICC Men’s ODI rankings whereas the West Indies cricket team is in the 10th tenth spot.
