WI vs SL Today Match Prediction : West Indies will face off Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I match in Antigua on late Sunday night (8 March). The series is leveled at 1-1 as West Indies won the first match and Sri Lanka won the second match and now both the sides will fight to clinch the series in this decider. And on a spin friendly pitch it should be a good battle.
Here we are going to discuss strengths and weakness of West Indies as well as of Sri Lanka and will also make our WI vs SL Today Match Prediction
Strengths :
West Indies’ strength is their powerful batting line up of Evin Lewis, Lendl Simmons, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard as all five are pretty food batsmen of this format and on their day can smash any attack and then the likes of Fabian Allen, Jason Holder and Dwayne Bravo too can bat so they have a good depth in their batting and then in bowling Dwayne Bravo, Fidel Edwards, young Obed McCoy and Jason Holder have been decent and in spin department Fabian Allen and Kevin Sinclair can chip in with some crucial wickets.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka’s strength is their spin bowling attack of Wanindu Hasaranga, Akila Dananjaya and Lakshan Sandakan as this trio has been good on these slow and dry pitches. Then in batting opener Dhanushka Gunathikala is in fine form and scored a fifty in last match and new comer Pathum Nisanka has played two useful knocks and in lower order Thisara Perera, Angelo Mathews and Niroshan Dickwell too can play shots.
Weaknesses :
West Indies’ weakness is the inability of their batsmen against spin as they have struggled to play against them and on such pitches like Antigua they need to bat very sensibly and just can’t go for big shots every time and the duo of Chris Gayle and Pooran have looked clueless so far.
On the other side, Sri Lanka’s weakness is their batting as most of their batsmen aren’t consistent and some of them bat very slowly so it put pressure on other batters and then in pace bowling they don’t have an experienced bowler.
Here we are going to discuss both West Indies and Sri Lanka’s playing combination and probable playing XIs who will be useful for making WI vs SL Dream11 Team
West Indies as well as Sri Lanka should remain unchanged for this series decider.

Kieron Pollard : Captain of West Indies has been in good form for the last 12 months in this format and smashed six sixes in an over in the first T20I and in this series decider he will look to lead from front.
Jason Holder : He is a fine all rounder who contributes with bat as well as bowl and in this series he has been decent so far as he took wickets in both the matches and also hit some sixes.
Dhanushka Gunathikala : He had a good season of Lanka Premier League and carried that form into this series as well and in the last match he scored 50 plus runs and also took one wicket with his spin bowling so he is an important player for Sri Lanka at present.
