Team Analysis
The Charith Asalanka-led Sri Lankan squad was seen to be struggling against the West Indies in the last match. Their main weakness is their bowling unit. Their key player, Wanindu Hasaranga proved to be very expensive in the first match, averaging at 9.50 runs per over. Other bowlers also struggled to provide breakthroughs for their team in form of dismissals and this led to quick partnership formation in the West Indian squad.
Poor top order performance is yet another weakness in the Sri Lankan squad. Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, and Kusal Prerera failed to contribute any significant runs to the total which led to poor usage of the batting powerplay for Sri Lanka.
The West Indies batting line-up can be best described as incredibly lethal and aggressive. Brandon King and Evin weis, the two opening batsmen of the Caribbean squad formed a quick partnership of 107 runs off just 55 deliveries, averaging at almost 190 strike rate. This stable start to the batting innings was the key reason why the West Indian team was able to secure a victory despite a mediocre performance by the middle order players.
Match Insights And Conclusion
