The West Indian openers once again did the job for the team in the 2nd ODI. Ewin Lewis struck a century while Shai Hope scored 84 to completely take the game away from Sri Lanka. Nicholas Pooran finished the game well after a bit of panic in the middle-order. 

Fabian Allen might make way for Kyle Mayers in the next match. Jason Mohammad has been effective as an all-rounder. Though he hasn't got enough chances with the bat, Jason has made sure he contributes with the ball. 

The Sri Lankan batting revolved around Danushka Gunathilaka and Dinesh Chandimal in the previous game. Ashen Bandara has looked promising in the series and could prove to be a match-winner on his day. 

Wanindu Hasaranga is one of the top upcoming stars for Sri Lanka. His all-round skills have vastly improved lately. He will be the key player for the island nation in the 3rd ODI. Lakshan Sandakan has been impressive in this series so far. 

West Indies have already clinched the series and will look to whitewash Sri Lanka. The island nation will look to play for the pride and get the momentum going into the test series.
