SL vs WI Cricket Betting Tips, 1st Test Sri Lanka vs West Indies Live Score, Match Prediction, Pitch & Weather

SL vs WI Prediction: Sri Lanka are set to clash against West Indies at home in a two-match test series beginning on Sunday. The Galle International Stadium will host both encounters. The two sides met in March last year when the series ended in a stalemate. West Indies have never won a series in the island nation. Both teams are heading into the contest on the back of a poor World Cup campaign.

Dimuth Karunaratne will be leading the side from the front. He has been very impressive with the bat lately. Four new faces have been included in the squad including Charith Asalanka. The Caribbean nation will be fielding a young side themselves with Kraigg Brathwaite as captain. Man in form Roston Chase is the player to watch out for.
