The Sri Lankan left-hander remains a key prospect lower down the order. The former skipper scored a much-needed 45 off 44 deliveries in the last game to give the scorecard a much-needed push. Charith remains an integral bet.
The newly appointed Sri Lankan skipper celebrated his new role with a match-winning 72 off 62 deliveries that also earned him the man of the match award. Kusal is an in-form batter and will look to contribute yet again.

Sri Lanka have made a strong start to their Caribbean tour, clinching the opening ODI at Sabina Park by 41 runs. The victory set the tone for the series, and the visitors will now look to finish the job in the second game on June 6.
The batting unit was spearheaded by Pathum Nissanka and new skipper Kusal Mendis, whose contributions ensured Sri Lanka posted a competitive total. Their form will once again be crucial as the team seeks consistency at the top of the order.
Equally important is Sri Lanka’s experienced bowling attack. Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera, and Maheesh Theekshana combined skill and discipline to dismantle the West Indies batting lineup in the first match. Their ability to maintain pressure and strike at key moments will be central to Sri Lanka’s hopes of sealing the series. With momentum firmly on their side, Sri Lanka will aim to capitalize on their advantage and secure a 2–0 lead, leaving West Indies with no room for a comeback.
West Indies find themselves under immense pressure heading into the second ODI against Sri Lanka at Sabina Park. Having lost their last five ODIs, the Caribbean side desperately needs a turnaround to keep the series alive. The opening defeat by 41 runs has only intensified the urgency, making this clash a must‑win encounter.
The responsibility lies heavily on the shoulders of senior players. Shai Hope, the captain and batting anchor, must lead from the front with a substantial innings. Roston Chase will be expected to provide stability in the middle order, while strike bowler Alzarri Joseph needs to deliver breakthroughs with the new ball. In the spin department, Gudakesh Motie will be key to containing Sri Lanka’s batting and applying pressure in the middle overs.
West Indies’ batting collapses and inconsistent bowling have hurt them in recent matches, but playing at home offers an opportunity to reset. A collective effort from the experienced core is essential if they are to level the series and regain confidence. Anything less than victory will leave them staring at another series defeat. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
