West Indies will take on Sri Lanka in the third and final ODI of the series on Monday, June 8, at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica. Sri Lanka missed a golden chance to seal the series in the second match after the rain had last laugh. However, they will continue to back themselves to seal the series after a clinical performance in the first game.
West Indies have a lot to play for in the final ODI as they risk losing their first series against Sri Lanka at home since 2003. Moreover, the victory is important, considering their current rank (10th) in the ICC ODI rankings, which won’t be enough to give them a direct qualification to the next year’s World Cup. Hence, the hosts have a lot riding on their shoulders as they head into the final ODI.

West Indies vs Sri Lanka Playing XI Prediction
West Indies
John Campbell, Justin Greaves, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (capt.)(wk), Shimron Hetmyer/Sherfane Rutherford, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Jayden Seales
Sri Lanka
Pathum Nissanka, Kamindu Mendis, Kusal Mendis (capt.)(wk), Pavan Rathnayake, Charith Asalanka, Janith Liyanage, Wanindu Hasaranga, Milan Rathnayake, Dushmantha Chameera, Asitha Fernando/Eshan Malinga
Players to watch out for:
Kamindu Mendis
The 27-year-old didn’t have a great outing in the first ODI, opening the innings for the first time in the 50-over format. He was dismissed for just 12 (21) by Jayden Seales and failed to make an impact. However, Kamindu Mendis has shown great promise in his Test career so far and will be eager to leave his mark in the ODIs too, with a stellar performance in the upcoming game, having full backing of the team management.
Alazarri Joseph
The right-arm speedster has a good record in his ODI career, having scalped 133 wickets from 80 innings at an average of 28.37 and an economy of 5.51. Joseph had an expensive outing in the first game, leaking 65 runs in just nine overs. He will hold the key for West Indies in the final ODI to help his team save the series.
