WI vs SL Betting Tips
After a crazy, rollercoaster of a T20i series, West Indies and Sri Lanka now turn their attention to the longer, white-ball format.
West Indies won that T20i series 2-1, which included Akila Dananjaya taking a hat-trick before being hit for six sixes in an over just minutes later in the opening game.
Sri Lanka welcome Dasun Shanaka back for the series, after he missed the T20 internationals due to visa issues.

West Indies vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI Prediction & Betting Tips
West Indies will bid to back up their T20i series win with success in the 50-over game too, when they take on Sri Lanka in a three-game series. The first match of the series, which takes place exclusively at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua, gets underway on March 10 and the live action is scheduled to start at 09:30 local time.
West Indies started with a 2-1 win in the rollercoaster T20i series, and know they need more consistency if they are to follow that success up over the longer white-ball format. T20 specialists Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo and Lendl Simmons all drop out, but Kyle Mayers and Alzarri Joseph are key arrivals in their place.
For Sri Lanka, they have a very similar squad with the main difference being the return of Dasun Shanaka. He was set to captain the team in the T20i series but missed out due to visa issues, though he has flown out to rejoint the squad now.
West Indies lost the last two tosses in the T20i series so they are due this one, though they appear to be happy to field first.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
WI Team News
Kieron Pollard leads the team again, but some of their other notable T20 stars drop out – Dwayne Bravo, Chris Gayle and Lendl Simmons among them. In their place, Darren Bravo, Kyle Mayers and Alzarri Joseph are in the squad.
WI Key Players
Shai Hope: One of the key incoming players, the wicket-keeper-batsman still averages 52.20 in ODI cricket and hit back-to-back half-centuries in his last two List A innings.
Kieron Pollard: The captain smashed six sixes in an over in the first T20i to write his name into the history books. He has a 94.65 strike rate in ODI cricket.
Alzarri Joseph: The paceman has claimed 50 wickets in 30 innings in ODI cricket and the 24-year-old is key to their bowling attack.
WI Team Form
Including the last time the met Sri Lanka, West Indies have lost their last six consecutive matches in ODI cricket – three in Sri Lanka and three in Bangladesh last time out. An inexperienced West Indies team were bowled out for 122, 148 and 177 in their three games against Bangladesh.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
Shai Hope (wk), Evin Lewis, Darren Bravo, Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard, Jason Holder, Fabian Allen, Romario Shepherd, Alzarri Joseph, Kevin Sinclair
WI vs SL Dream11 Prediction
Wicket Keeper
Shai Hope is West Indies’ top batsman and even at 10.5 credits he is a must pick. Nicholas Pooran, meanwhile, is nine credits and a key threat with the bat in the middle order. Both are worth selecting.
Batsmen
Angelo Mathews and Dimuth Karunaratne are both 9.5 credits and both will be key with Sri Lanka are to win this series. Mathews starred with the ball when these teams last met in ODI cricket with the ball but remains key with the bat too. Evin Lewis is 8.5 credits but likely to be an explosive present up the order.
All rounder
Fabian Allen starred in the third and final T20i with the ball and could be a useful all-rounder in this fixture. Wanindu Hasaranga and Jason Holder are key all-rounders for their respective teams, meanwhile, and worth the 9.5-credit outlay.
Bowlers
As no bowler costs more than 8.5 credits, it is a free choice on the bowlers. Nuwan Pradeep and Akila Dananjaya sit at that price point for Sri Lanka, while Alzarri Joseph is a key player for West Indies.
Captain /Vice Captain
Shai Hope’s consistent batting makes him a steady choice for Dream 11 captain and he is well worth backing. Jason Holder’s all-round ability could be key given West Indies’ batting collapses of late.
All Rounder:Wanindu Hasaranga, Jason Holder, Fabian Allen
Wicket Keeper:Nicholas Pooran, Shai Hope (c)
Bowler:Nuwan Pradeep, Akila Dananjaya, Alzarri Joseph
Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
SL Team News
Dasun Shanaka has joined up with the squad for the ODI series after being unable to captain the side in T20i cricket due to visa issues.
SL Key Players
Lakshan Sandakan: Comes into the ODI series after taking six wickets across the final two matches of the T20i series.
Dimuth Karunaratne: The captain comes into the series having hit a century in his most recent international innings. In ODI cricket, he scored 52, 1 and 44 in his three innings against West Indies last year.
Akila Dananjaya: Experienced the highs and lows of T20i bowling within the space of two overs at the start of the T20i series, but he has 51 wickets in 34 ODI innings.
SL Team Form
Sri Lanka beat West Indies 3-0 in their most recent ODI cricket, a year ago. There were two thrillers – a one-wicket win and a six-run victory – either side of a 161-run thrashing of West Indies.
Shai Hope was in excellent form for West Indies when these teams last met a year ago but could not prevent a 3-0 whitewash defeat. He hit 115 but in a total of 289/7, but Sri Lanka snatched a one-wicket win in the final over. Avishka Fernando’s 127 was central to Sri Lanka’s dominant 161-run win in the second game, despite Hope’s 51, and Angelo Mathews then claimed 4-59 to seal a six-run win defending 307 in the final match of the series.

West Indies vs Sri Lanka Betting Odds
West Indies are favourites to start this home series by beating Sri Lanka, as they did in the T20 series too.
Who will win West Indies vs Sri Lanka?
West Indies are favourites to win this match with Bet365 and Betway, with Sri Lanka fairly big outsiders.
Sri Lanka won 3-0 when these two teams last met in an ODI series, but West Indies are on home soil with a stronger XI this time around and the hosts are favourites as a result. West Indies won the T20i series and are looking to back that success up in this series.
Shai Hope is joint-favorite to be West Indies’ top team batsman given his fine form when these teams last met. Evin Lewis is joint-favourite. For Sri Lanka, Dimuth Karunaratne is among the favourites.
Shai Hope was in fine form when these teams last met, top-scoring in all three matches for West Indies. He is their stand-out batsman and his consistency puts him ahead of Evin Lewis and Nicholas Pooran in the pecking order to be West Indies’ top team batsman again.
Dimuth Karunaratne has been consistent up the order, and he is among the favourites for Sri Lanka. Much depends on selection, however, with Niroshan Dickwella, Dinesh Chandimal and Danushka Gunathilaka also among those favourites.
Alzarri Joseph is joint-favourite to be West Indies’ top team bowler, as he comes into the team. Akila Dananjaya is a favorite for Sri Lanka, after his mixed bag of a series against the West Indies.
Alzarri Joseph will be a key introduction to the West Indies’ squad and the paceman is rightly favorite to be West Indies’ top team bowler. For Sri Lanka, it is more open. Akila Dananjaya showed the best and worst of his game in the T20i series. Nuwan Pradeep may be a better option.
