Sri Lanka vs West Indies Match Prediction, Report, Head to Head...

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium will host this game. Since they have already won three straight games, Sri Lanka is in a strong position. On the other side, the West Indies will now lose again until they figure out how to tackle the spinners. The second ODI of the three-match series between the island nation of Sri Lanka (SL) and the West Indies (WI) will take place on Wednesday, October 23 in Kandy.

The hosts just won the first ODI by a thrilling five wickets. They intend to improve their series advantage and play with the same level of confidence in the upcoming match. The island nation is hoping to do similarly against the visitors in the 50-over format after winning the T20I series by a 2-1 score. 

In the meantime, nothing has been going well for Shai Hope's West Indies. The Caribbean team, who had a poor season in the game's shortest format, was unable to reverse the tide in their favour in the first game, being held to 185/4 while chasing 235 runs in a rain-soaked contest. The visitors will want to get back together fast and generate good results because the next game is their last chance to salvage the series.

Pitch Report:

In the first ODI, the surface appeared flat, and the batsmen got enough assistance to score runs. The new ball did, however, have enough movement or seam to cause the batters some trouble. However, it favors the bowlers more. The pitch can benefit greatly from the assistance of spinners in particular.
