Sri Lanka enters this ODI as the favorite, with conditions at Pallekele International Stadium expected to favor their spin-heavy bowling attack. Their strong spin trio—Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, and Dunith Wellalage—poses a significant challenge for the West Indies, who have struggled against quality spin in subcontinental conditions.
The West Indies, led by Alzarri Joseph in the pace attack, will need to adapt quickly to Sri Lanka’s spin-friendly surface. Despite their past inconsistency, they’ll rely on their middle-order batting to face Sri Lanka’s bowling threat. With home advantage and a spin-favorable pitch, Sri Lanka is well-positioned to win.
