West Indies v Sri Lanka 2nd T20I – Team News

• Fidel Edwards – The West Indies fast bowler took his first international wicket in nine years recently and should be hungry for more.
• Lendl Simmons – Chris Gayle has to bat third in the order to get Simmons open the batting alongside Evin Lewis. This is an interesting tactic.
• Jason Holder – The West Indies Test captain could weigh in with the bat and ball again. He is among the best all-rounders in international cricket.
• Pathum Nissanka – He top-scored for Sri Lanka in the first innings, but didn’t kick on beyond 39. Perhaps 50, at least, is on the cards.
• Angelo Mathews – The stand-in Sri Lankan captain bowled just one expensive over in the series opener. Perhaps he won’t bowl at all this time and play as a specialist batsman.

West Indies v Sri Lanka 2nd T20I – Betting Tips and Prediction

Our expert cricket and betting analysts have more match predictions for you. They include generous odds and valuable insight.

Pick Pooran as Top West Indies Batsman

Nicholas Pooran has become somewhat of a household name in domestic T20 leagues around the world. Now, though, his focus on the West Indies.

He got a duck in the first match and will want to bounce back. He might have learnt from his mistake. Pooran is shaping up nicely at 5.0 with 22Bet to be the top West Indies batsman.

Bet on Dananjaya As Top Sri Lanka Bowler

Don’t be scared off that Akila Dananjaya was hit for six sixes in a single over during the first match. He also took a T20I hat-trick – that’s very rare.

He might only need three wickets again to be the top bowler for Sri Lanka in this match. Bet on it to happen at 4.0 with 1xBet.

Select Pollard to Hit the Most Sixes

It’s appropriate that Kieron Pollard is priced at 7.0 with bet365 to hit the most sixes in this second T20I. He was on fire in the series opener.

The same betting site has Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran and others priced up in the same market, but we really like the look of Pollard’s price here.
