SRI LANKA BETTING ANALYSIS

Once again, Charith Asalanka was the star for Sri Lanka with the bat. After striking 77 in the first ODI, Asalanka backed that up with 62 not out in his side’s successful run chase to seal a 2-0 lead. His consistency and domination of the West Indian bowling attack has been notable and bettors should continue to invest in the 27-year-old. Back Asalanka to finish Sri Lanka’s top batter in the third ODI.

WEST INDIES BETTING ANALYSIS

West Indies’ most potent bowler across the two ODIs so far has been pacer Alzarri Joseph. With two wickets in each game so far, Joseph has caused the Windies batters significant problems. Whilst his pace can see him be expensive at times, he makes up for that with his wicket-taking threat and is worth backing to accumulate over 1.5 match wickets for the third consecutive game.

SRI LANKA VS WEST INDIES EXPERT PREDICTION

This series has been one dominated by Sri Lanka, who have played the conditions better than West Indies and shown more composure with the bat in particular. The hosts look a strong white ball unit and should only improve as time goes on. Motivation will still be high for them despite already securing the series and they are still well worth backing to make it 3-0.
