West Indies vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20 Prediction & Betting
West Indies will take on Sri Lanka in the final of the 3 match T20I series. The match will be played at the Sir Vivian Richards, North Sound Antigua and is set to get underway at 6:00 PM local time
Sri Lanka picked up a comprehensive win in the second T20I. Opting to bat, they posted a decent total of 160-6 in their 20 overs and then bowled out West Indies for a paltry 117, winning the match by 43 runs. The batting efforts from West Indies in this series has been pretty ordinary. None of the batsmen have taken the responsibility to play a longer inning. However, they are so unpredictable in this format that we cannot be sure how they’ll turn in the next game. They can be too hot to handle or can deliver a performance that worse than their performance in the 2nd T20I.
The West Indies batsmen need to find a way to get over the Sri Lanka spinners who have been all over them. Sri Lanka batting fared better in the previous game. Danushka Gunathilaka and Pathum Nissanka got them off to a decent start, stitching a partnership of 95 runs. They could only manage 65 runs in the final 10 overs which is not acceptable so they too need to sort out their issues in the batting.

The series is on the line and we don’t see West Indies making too many changes in the playing XI. However, the spinners are getting a lot of help from this wicket thus they might consider bringing in Akeal Hosein
WI Key Players
- Chris Gayle - When it comes to T20 cricket, Gayle is right up their with the best. He hasn’t fired in the series but with World Cup spot on the line, he’ll be eager to do well and make a statement.
- Kieron Pollard - Kieron Pollard was at his destructive vest in the 1st T20. He’s a clean hitter of a cricket ball and can tonk the ball big. Being the skipper, West Indies will look up to him for a match winning knock.
- Dwayne Bravo - Bravo too can be destructive in the final overs. He’s a very handy bowler too. He bowled well in the second T20 and we’ll back him to perform well in the next game as well.
WI Team Form
West Indies won the 1st T20 but they looked completely off colour in the second game. The series is on the line so they’ll need to bring their A game to emerge victorious.

🏆 West Indies vs Sri Lanka Prediction
The pitch is supporting slower bowlers and the Sri Lankan spinners have been all over the West Indian batsmen. We expect them to continue their dominance over the hosts which makes Sri Lanka as favourites to win the series. However, the visitors need to bat well as West Indian bowlers are capable of restricting them to a below par total.
