Island nation Sri Lanka (SL) and West Indies (WI) will collide in the second ODI of the three-match series, at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, in Kandy, on Wednesday, October 23.

Hosts are coming off a spectacular five-wicket win in the first ODI. They will look to take the same confidence in the next game and better their lead in the series. After winning the T20I series by a 2-1 margin, the island nation is looking to pull off a similar performance in the 50-over format against the visitors. 

Meanwhile, for Shai Hope's West Indies, nothing has been going in their favour. After having a disappointing campaign in the shortest format of the game, the Caribbean side couldn't turn the tide towards themselves in the opening match, as they were restricted at 185/4 while chasing 235 runs in a rain-marred game. With the upcoming game their last hope to keep the series alive, the visitors will look to quickly regroup and get favourable results.
