West Indies v Sri Lanka 1st ODI – Team News

• Evin Lewis – The hard-hitting opening batsman will hope to take his ability and talent in T20I cricket into the intermediate format of the international game.
• Akeal Hosein – The West Indies have an inexperienced but promising spinner in Hosein. He could really benefit from the conditions on offer.
• Jason Holder – The Test captain can offer the ODI XI plenty with the bat and ball. He should be a huge asset in both departments.
• Dimuth Karunaratne – The steady opening batsman will captain Sri Lanka. He is a gatherer rather than a big-hitter.
• Nuwan Pradeep – The seamer should add some good value to the bowling resources. He might be able to extract lateral movement that others can’t.

West Indies v Sri Lanka 1st ODI – Betting Tips and Prediction

We have more cricket betting tips to help your decision-making. These predictions are based on the form of the players and other key factors.

Have Hope as the Top West Indies Batsman

Shai Hope is a genuine talent for West Indies cricket. He is already in possession of nine centuries in ODI cricket. This series opener could bring his 10th.

Hope will likely open the batting, affording him plenty of time to get in and carry on. Bet on him to be the top West Indies batsman at 3.74 with 22Bet.

Bet on Dananjaya as Sri Lanka’s Top Bowler

Akila Dananjaya showed what he can do by taking a hat-trick in the recent T20I series against the Windies. Yes, he was also hit for six sixes in one over, but runs don’t matter in this market.

Bet on Dananjaya to be the top Sri Lanka bowler at 3.74 with 1xBet. He might only require three wickets to get this right.

Back a Century to Be Scored

There will be a wealth of batting talent on display on a fresh pitch, which should be full of runs, in this series opener.

We often punt a century to be scored in T20I cricket, which usually has longer odds. Here, Sportsbet.io have priced it to happen at 1.94. This could bring decent value.
