West Indies vs Sri Lanka prediction

Sri Lanka's win in the first ODI between them and West Indies proved to be enough in that particular series following consecutive washouts. But in the T20 format, you'd expect the Windies to respond strongly with a batting line-up capable of striking some lusty blows right down the order.

Whilst Sri Lanka showed their quality with the bat last time out, transitioning to T20 mode won't be easy and you can argue that they are stronger in the longer format of white ball cricket. Playing the shorter format favours West Indies so consider backing them to win here.
