SL vs WI Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Predicted Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Updates For 1st ODI
Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is expected to assist spinners and slow bowlers.
After securing the T20I series with a 2-1 victory, the Sri Lanka cricket team is now shifting its focus to the One Day Internationals. They are set to face the West Indies in a three-match ODI series, beginning on October 20 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy.
The West Indies started the T20I series strong, but Sri Lanka made a remarkable comeback, winning the second and third matches to clinch the series. Led by Charith Asalanka, the Sri Lankan team carries significant momentum into the upcoming ODI series, with their spin department emerging as a key strength that positions them as favorites.
Notably, Asalanka's team recently triumphed over India in an ODI series, winning 2-0 in July and August. The West Indies must address their batting weaknesses against Sri Lankan spinners if they hope to avoid another defeat in the ODIs following their loss in the T20I series.
In the ICC Men's ODI rankings, Sri Lanka currently holds the seventh position, while the West Indies are in tenth place.
