SL vs WI Match Preview

Sri Lanka clinched a series with an impressive victory in the second one-day international, leaving the West Indies devastated. West Indies understands what they need to do to win, but their young team lacks the ability to adjust to the conditions and begin playing spin more confidently. It's no surprise that the visitors have yet to win in Sri Lanka after more than ten matches. With a dead rubber, there is little pressure, and they may pick up a consolation win, but they will need to be at their absolute best to make it close to challenging the mighty Lankans in their current form.
