Match Details

• Date & Time: 23rd October 2024, 2:30 PM
• Series: West Indies tour of Sri Lanka

Match Preview

In the first ODI, Sri Lanka put on a dominant display, led by brilliant performances from debutant Nishan Madushka and skipper Charith Asalanka. Sri Lanka’s spinners were key in restricting the West Indies' batting, which struggled on spin-friendly conditions.

The West Indies will need to adapt quickly to the conditions. While their openers showed promise, the middle order crumbled under pressure. West Indies' captain Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford will need to step up if they want to keep the series alive.

Pitch Report: Pallekele International Cricket Stadium

The pitch at Pallekele tends to favor spinners, and Sri Lanka will look to capitalize on that with their strong spin attack, including Wanindu Hasaranga and Dunith Wellalage. Historically, the surface has slowed down as the match progresses, making chasing tricky.

In previous matches at this venue, Sri Lanka has won 10 out of 13 matches, showing how strong they are at home. Expect spin to dominate once again.
