After clinching the three matches of the T20I series by 2-1, the Sri Lanka (SL) cricket team turned their head towards the One Day Internationals as they set to lock horns against the West Indies (WI) in the three matches of the ODI series, set to commence from October 20 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy.
West Indies have had a great start to the T20I series but the hosts bounced back very well to win the second and third games to grab the series. Charith Asalanka and his men carry momentum with them, heading into the forthcoming ODI series. The host's biggest strength seems to be their spin department, which makes them top favorites here.
It's worth mentioning that Charith Asalanka led the Sri Lanka team has recently thwarted Team India in the ODI series by 2-0 which was played in July and August. Notably, the West Indies cricket team needs to address their batting against Islanders spinners, or else they might lose in the ODI after losing in the T20I series.
The Lanka Lions are placed at the seventh spot in the ICC Men's ODI rankings whereas the West Indies cricket team is in the 10th tenth spot.

Kusal Mendis SL | WK
The Sri-Lanka wicketkeeper batter has made 113 runs in the T20I series and would be looking to continue such a red-hot form in the ODI game. The stylish right-handed batter will be taking an onus for boosting top and the middle order. In addition, the star batter was great in the ODI series against India, guiding the side to win the series by 2-0.
Brandon King WI | BAT
The West Indies top-order batter will be looking to take on Sri Lanka bowlers in the next game. He was great in the T20I series having piled up magnificent 91 runs in the last three innings and would be aiming to dominate against the Lanka Lions. King has the ability to single handedly destroy the Sri Lanka bowlers in the power-plays.
