West Indies will take on Sri Lanka in the second ODI on Saturday, June 6, at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica. Sri Lanka took a 1-0 lead in the series with a 41-run victory in the opening game at the same venue. Pathum Nissanka (79 off 103) and Kusal Mendis (72 off 62) starred with the bat before Dushamantha Chameera’s four-wicket haul (4/67) ran through the opposition.
On the other hand, West Indies failed to stem the run flow in the middle overs before having a collective failure with the bat during the run chase. The hosts will be having their backs against the wall as they head into the second match, as another loss would result in a series defeat. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will be eyeing their first ODI series win in West Indies since 2003.
