Slow and steady start by Sri Lanka team, I think they have to play as fast as they can at the start of the game. In the first 12 balls, they just reached 6 runs, playing with the run rate of 3. I think Sri Lanka has to give a target of more than 200 because in the last game, West Indies chased 170 plus very easily now have to focus on 200. But at the same time, I think it is out of capability to socre such big target but still they can try. Another over has passed and they are on 8 runs now.
Sri Lanka vs West Indies series is being held at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. And this pitch is not bowling friendly. Big collections are possible on this pitch if the batsmen bat responsibly. If you want to win against a T20 specialist team like West Indies, you have to give a big target. Sri Lanka lost the first match despite being set a target of 180 runs.
Sri Lanka started very slow in today's match. However, Sri Lanka have yet to lose a single wicket. Still, Sri Lanka should have batted a little more aggressively and tried to deliver a 200+ target. At the end of 9 overs, Sri Lanka managed to collect 64 runs. I would say Sri Lanka are more likely to lose if they give a target of less than 200. Because West Indies batsmen are in very good form at the moment. However, I consider West Indies as favorites in this series.
