Teams & Format
The two nations will battle across a series played in the One Day International (ODI) format. An ODI sees teams given a maximum of 50 overs (300 deliveries) to bat and 50 overs in the field.
Shorter than a Test and longer than a Twenty20, ODI's provide an interesting mix of the big-hitting of a T20 and the tactical battle of a Test.
Both sides have match-winners with bat and ball, but having those players consistently perform has been an issue. The pair have spent time at the summit of the game, but the likes of India and Australia have moved clear of them in terms of quality and consistency. This series is yet another chance for both sides to build teams that they will hope can challenge the best.
Key Players & Prospects
| Player (Team) | Prospects |
|---|---|
| Shai Hope (West Indies) | Shai Hope will have to juggle captaining and keeping wicket, with the explosive batter one of the top talents when in form. |
| Kusal Mendis (Sri Lanka) | Kusal Mendis is incredibly important to this Sri Lanka side as their captain, wicket-keeper and one of their best batters. If Mendis has a series to remember, Sri Lanka will challenge. |
West Indies vs Sri Lanka ODI Series Popular Betting Markets
- Top Batter: The ODI game requires quick run scoring along with a cool head. If wickets tumble quickly, then a player that can turn attack into defence and then back is important as they look to stem the flow of runs. As captains, Shai Hope (West Indies) and Kusal Mendis (Sri Lanka) will hope to provide consistent run scorers and will likely be big players in this market.
- Series Winner: With the two sides so well matched, the series winner market will likely provide decent odds when betting before the first match. With both teams suffering form their own inconsistencies, this may not be as simple as the team that goes ahead in the series stays ahead.
