West Indies vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
West Indies and South Africa meet in the second of five IT20 games at the National Cricket Stadium, St George’s, Grenada on Sunday. West Indies won the first IT20 by 8 wickets with 30 balls remaining on Saturday and will be looking to take a 2-0 lead in the series. Read on as we preview this fixture. This game will get underway at 14:00 local time.
West Indies have won three of their last four IT20 games and were ruthless in the first match, reaching their target with 5 overs to spare. They have a particularly strong batting line-up in this format.
South Africa’s top order is also impressive but they will require more from their middle order if they are to be competitive in this game. Rassie van der Dussen has been in good form across all three formats this year and can be relied upon for regular runs.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
WI Team News
After the success in the opening game, we expect West Indies to stick with the same XI in this match. They are building towards the T20 World Cup later this year and will prioritise winning games over handing out new caps to inexperienced players.
WI Key Players
- Chris Gayle- he may not have the mobility of his younger years but he can still hit a long ball. Gayle scored 3 sixes in his unbeaten 32 in the first IT20.
- Jason Holder- the multi-format all-rounder bowls an awkward length which many batsmen struggle with. He took the wicket of Heinrich Klaasen in the opening game.
- Kieron Pollard- West Indies captain is an imposing figure with experience in all of the top T20 franchise leagues across the globe. He has a strike rate of 137 in IT20 cricket
Very inconsistent in ODIs and Test Matches, West Indies are a well drilled side in the shortest format. They are in good form with three wins from their last four IT20s
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
Evin Lewis, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Kieron Pollard (c), Andre Russell, Dwayne Bravo, Jason Holder, Fabian Allen, Obed McCoy, Kevin Sinclair, Andre Fletcher
South Africa Team News & Playing 11
SA Team News
After convincing wins in both Test Matches, South Africa were brought back down to earth with the crushing defeat on Saturday. Rassie van der Dussen was the only player to reach a half-century although all of the top order made useful contributions. We expect them to select the same XI in this game.
SA Key Players
- Rassie van der Dussen- the top order batsman is in fine form at the moment with scores of 52, 46, 75* and 56 in his last four international games.
- Tabraiz Shamsi- the spin bowler was the only South African to take a wicket in Saturday’s match. His unconventional action causes problems for batsmen across the globe.
- Kagiso Rabada- South Africa’s aggressive fast bowler leads the attack across all three formats. He is rarely expensive and will be eager to take some top order wickets in this match.
Although they were strong in the Test series, this team has quite a few changes from the red ball side. South Africa have lost their last 3 games in this format.
South Africa Predicted Playing 11
Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Temba Bavuma (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, George Linde, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi, Lungi Ngidi
