West Indies vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for 2nd ODI - March 12th, 2021

The second ODI between West Indies and Sri Lanka takes place at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Friday. The Windies were right on the money in the first ODI as they swept aside the Sri Lankans.

Courtesy of a Shai Hope century, West Indies made light work of the Sri Lankan bowlers, who lacked the same incisiveness they displayed in the T20I series.

Although they weren't helped by the controversy surrounding Danushka Gunathilaka's dismissal, a better performance is in order from the tourists in this game.

The Windies will hope for more of the same as they try to build a rock-solid team for the next ICC Cricket World Cup.

Led by Kieron Pollard, West Indies have a well-balanced team, although they would ideally expect more from Nicholas Pooran and Alzarri Joseph with bat and ball respectively.

They will head into this game as the clear favorites. However, they will be wary of what the tourists are capable of in the white-ball format.

With the likes of Wanindu Hasaranga and Dimuth Karunaratne itching to make for their no-show in the previous game, another entertaining game of cricket beckons on Friday.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium is a decent one to bat on with some help available for the bowlers.

Although there should be swing on offer early on, the batsmen should enjoy the ball coming onto the bat. The spinners will come into play in the middle overs, which should make for a good contest between bat and ball.

Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 250 being a competitive total given the conditions.
