West Indies vs Sri Lanka prediction

West Indies may well hope that the pitches at Sabina Park offer some spice over the course of this three-game series, giving their pace battery plenty to work with after naming some notable speedsters in their squad that should give Sri Lanka plenty of problems. The Windies have been awful at ODI cricket across the last few years, failing to qualify for the last ICC Cricket World Cup, but they boast a squad that are likely to ensure better results over this latest cycle.

Head coach Darren Sammy has stated the importance of making West Indies a fortress for the home side and this is an ideal place to start. Expect the quicks to put Sri Lanka under significant early pressure and with a decent level of depth among the Windies batting line-up for the first time in a while, they seem to be in a good place. Backing them to get the better of Sri Lanka to begin the series is a move worth making.
