SRI LANKA BETTING ANALYSIS
Dunith Wellalage helped spark a West Indian collapse in the second T20i with a cluster of top order wickets. His slow left-arm orthodox spin-bowling accounted for three wickets in total and led to a comprehensive victory. It would be no surprise if Wellalage’s bowling proved profitable again in this deciding contest, so consider backing him to record over 1.5 match wickets.
WEST INDIES BETTING ANALYSIS
The consistency of all-rounder Romario Shepherd hasn’t gone unnoticed from a betting perspective with him being the only West Indian player to have accumulated 2+ wickets in each of the two T20i matches played so far. When taking into account such form, the sensible move here would be backing Shepherd to repeat the feat for a third game running.
SRI LANKA VS WEST INDIES EXPERT PREDICTION
Sri Lanka needed time to grow into this series, but the second T20i was them at their best, making full use of home conditions and running through West Indies. Whilst an improvement is expected from the tourists, Sri Lanka seem to have hit their straps at this point and look very hard to stop. Back the hosts to complete the series comeback.
