SL vs WI Dream11 Prediction: Welcome to the first test between Sri Lanka and West Indies. West Indies have already played two Tests against Pakistan in August this year, winning one and losing one, while this will be Sri Lanka’s first series in the new WTC cycle. The last edition of the WTC cycle saw West Indies finishing 7th and Sri Lanka 8th and they would be hoping to finish a bit better this time around. As both matches are due to be played in Galle, spin is likeliest to decide the series. On that front, Sri Lanka would seem to have a significant edge, But what West Indies do have is an experienced outfit knowing what it takes to win a Test match in Asian conditions. Earlier this year, they won a couple of Tests in Bangladesh despite being run close by the opposition in both games.
