West Indies vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20: WI vs SL Dream11 Team Predictions

The Sri Lanka tour of West Indies started on a huge note with the hosts winning a thriller filled with new records registered. The highlight of the 1^st game was definitely the hat-trick by Dananjaya, but the limelight was completely stolen by Kieron Pollard who became just the third player in T20I history to score 6 sixes in an over that elevated the side to a 1-0 lead.

On Friday night, the teams are set to battle once again at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua. The pitch here is expected to play a little on the slower side with the chasing team tipped to have a clear edge. Regardless of the result, the series is setup perfectly well paving way for an exciting game on Friday night.

West Indies vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20: WI vs SL Dream11 Team Predictions: Wicket-keepers

Nicholas Pooran is coming off a great CPL season for the Trinidad side. The left-handed batsman has so far averaged 25.11 in all T20s with a strike rate of 145.24. Despite going for a golden duck with the bat, he managed to contribute 12 points with the gloves.

Niroshan Dickwella was one of the top scorers for his side in the last game as he made 33 runs at a decent strike rate. He also did a tidy job behind the stumps as he accumulated 46 points from the 1^st T20.

Lendl Simmons went berserk for Trinidad in CPL where he scored 2 tons and a half century in a space of 4 innings. As a result, he clawed his way back into the national team. He made a valuable 26 at the top of the order, providing 33 points with the willow.

He had Evin Lewis for companywho was in a bit of hurry in the powerplay with the left-handed opening batsman striking at 280.

The return of Chris Gayle wasn’t in the best of the ways as the T20 great fell for a first ball duck. He would be looking to compensate it in the remaining fixtures.

Pathum Nissanka pitched in with an important knock at the top of the order in his first ever T20 international, making him a top contender for the No.3 spot.

Danushka Gunathilaka has large experience at the international level, but the left hander fell after making just 4 runs in the first game.

Dinesh Chandimal has been in and out of the eleven in the last few years with inconsistency continuously bothering the former skipper. He gave away just 13 points with the bat.  

West Indies vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20: WI vs SL Dream11 Team Predictions: All-rounders

The West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard has yet again proven that he is one of the best ever in the shortest format. The team was in total tatters when he came in with Dananjaya running through the middle order, picking up his first hattrick. He smashed the same bowler for 36 runs in his very next over, taking the team near to the chasing total.

Jason Holder was of great support as he made 29 runs and took one important wicket for the side, accumulating 59 points.

Dwayne Bravo who struggled to time with the bat bowled a tight spell sending Hasaranga packing with his variations.

Fabian Allen has been a predominantly bowling all-rounder who did his job with the ball in the only over he bowled. He delivered 25 dream 11 points in the 1^st game.

Angelo Mathews is the senior most player in the fray who is looking for some resurgence in terms of batting as well as with the ball. He was taken for the cleaners with the ball while failing to make any impact with the bat.

Thisara Perera should take some extra responsibility and initiative as the pinch hitter in the side. It is imperative for him to fire on all fronts, if his team was to succeed.

West Indies vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20: WI vs SL Dream11 Team Predictions: Bowlers

Kevin Sinclair who made his debut in the previous game was up to the task picking one wicket for 26 runs. He managed to provide 25 fantasy points.

Obed McCoy was the pick of the bowlers as he sent two batsmen back to the hut and conceded just 6.25 runs per over. The veteran fast bowler Fidel Edwards was right on the money as he bowled a crucial spell with figures of 4-0-29-1, accumulating 25 points.
