Sri Lanka vs West Indies | Tomorrow Match Prediction | Cricket Match Prediction
Preview :
Sri Lanka will face off West Indies in the first of two T20 internationals in Pallekele tomorrow.
After whitewashing West Indies in the ODI series Sri Lanka will look to continue their good form and run in two match T20I series too. In the ODI series Sri Lanka played in a unit and a similar performance is needed in this series too. Upcoming T20 World Cup is just six months away so it’s an important series for them. On the other hand, West Indies must be gutted after not winning any game in the ODI series. Though their performance wasn’t bad and now they will hope for a fresh start in this series and they also have so many match winners of this format like Dwayne Bravo, Andre Russell and captain Kieron Pollard who all will play crucial roles.

Win Prediction by Dream Team Cricket :
Sri Lanka won the ODI series by 3-0 but two of the matches were very close and it shows West Indies played good cricket and in the T20I format West Indies have been good over the years and their all players are T20 specialists and in their strongest format they’re the team to beat. Though in these spin friendly conditions Sri Lanka have advantage but West Indies have so many match winners and seeing both team’s line up West Indies is favourite for this clash. However both the sides would love to bowl first.
