WI vs SL Dream11 prediction: Match preview

The West Indies vs Sri Lanka series 2021 has gotten off to a cracking start after the hosts' dominant 4-wicket win in the first T20I match of the tour. Niroshan Dickwella and Pathum Nissanka's 33 and 39 runs respectively were the best efforts for Sri Lanka as they ended up putting on a below-par 131 runs on the board. Each of the Windies bowlers nabbed a wicket for themselves, with Obed McCoy getting 2-25 as the Lankan batting lineup collapsed. Barring Dickwella and Pathum, no one else on the visiting side managed to cross the 15-run mark, leaving the bowlers too little to work with.

The Windies hit back hard, with Evin Lewis (28) and Lendl Simmons (26) putting up a 52-run opening partnership before Akila Dananjaya broke open the top order, taking down Lewis, veteran batsman Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran in an impressive hattrick. At 4-62, the Windies' hopes were rescued by what will now be a historic knock by Kieron Pollard batting alongside Jason Holder. Pollard's six 6s off Dananjaya meant that he walked back with a whopping 345.45 strike rate for his 38 runs. Holder remained not out at 29 as the Windies took a 1-0 lead in the series.
