WI vs SL Prediction, Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report and Injury Update – Sri Lanka tour of West Indies, 2nd T20I

Preview:

After the action-packed first T20I, which saw Akila Dananjaya picking up a hat-trick and then being clobbered for six sixes in an over by Kieron Pollard, West Indies will take on Sri Lanka in the 2nd of the 3-match T20I series on Saturday. West Indies will come into this match high on confidence after winning the first T20I, chasing 132 in just 13.1 overs, and will be looking forward to winning this match and series as well.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka will be very disappointed with themselves after their performance in the last T20I. They will be eager to win this match and level the series, but it will not be easy to break their nine matches long winless streak in T20I cricket. We can expect a thrilling contest between these two sides.
