Match Preview
After taking a 1-0 lead in the series, Sri Lanka women will again lock horns with West Indies women in the second ODI of the three-match series on Sunday, February 22, at the National Cricket Stadium, St Georges, Grenada. Sri Lanka registered a thrilling ten-run victory in the series opener as they successfully defended their score of 240/6.
West Indies were bundled out for 230 in 49.4 overs as Inoka Ranaweera (4/44) and Kavisha Dilhari (3/49) ran through their batting lineup. Ranaweera was deservedly adjudged Player of the Match for turning the game on its head with her timely strikes.

The victory also marked West Indies’ fourth successive loss against Sri Lanka in ODIs, who continue to extend their dominance over them both at home and away. Hence, West Indies are left with all to play for in the upcoming fixture as they will be tasked with not only saving the series but also ending Sri Lanka’s winning run.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka will be eyeing their second consecutive ODI series win over the hosts.

WI-W vs SL-W Playing XI Prediction
West Indies Women
Hayley Matthews (c), Qiana Joseph, Shemaine Campbelle (wk), Stafanie Taylor, Chinelle Henry, Deandra Dottin, Jannillea Glasgow, Aaliyah Alleyne, Shawnisha Hector, Afy Fletcher, Karishma Ramharack
Sri Lanka Women

Players to watch out for:
Chamari Athapaththu
The Sri Lankan captain has been one of the top performers in international cricket over the past few years. Having failed to convert her start in the first ODI, Athapaththu will be eager to notch up a big score in the upcoming fixture and guide her team to a series win.
Hayley Matthews
The West Indies skipper also got out cheaply in the series opener for 13 (26) as her team eventually fell 11 runs short of their target. With the series on the line, Matthews will bring her A game to the fore and give her everything to keep her team alive in the series.
