West Indies have won the toss and have opted to bat

13:35 Local Time, 08:05 GMT, 13:35 IST: It has been a good time to be a fan of Sri Lankan cricket with the national team enjoying a spell of renaissance under coach Sanath Jayasuriya. They've secured wins over India, England, New Zealand and now West Indies, across different formats of the game, and have managed to spark interest back amongst the fans who've supported their team all through their lows. As such, they'll begin this 3-match ODI series against West Indies as firm favourites, having already beaten them in the shortest format last week. But West Indies did show they're no meek travellers and did win the 1st T20I of the series. We're into the 50-over format now and that gives more opportunities for both the batters and the bowlers to show their skills. It's a lovely Sunday afternoon in Pallekele and clear weather has been predicted for the course of today's game. Toss and team sheets coming up shortly..
