Shai Hope: We are gonna bowl first. There has been weather around and we will try to use the conditions. Put them under pressure and get the spinners on early. We will try to restrict them to a chase able score. Not many teams come to Sri Lanka and dominate, we would like to end the tour with a win. We have three changes.

West Indies have won the toss and have opted to field
13:30 Local Time, 08:00 GMT, 13:30 IST: West Indies started the tour with a convincing win in the first T20 but things have gone downhill from thereon. They lost the last two games of the T20I series and already trailing 2-0 in this 3-match ODI series. There main problem has been the way they have handled Sri Lanka's spin attack. The likes of Hasaranga, Theekshana and Wellalage have made them dance to their tunes. Can the Caribbean side leave the shores with a win? Sri Lanka have had a good couple of months in all three formats. They beat India in an ODI series at home after long, won a Test in England, whitewashed New Zealand in a 2-Test series, came back from losing the first T20I against West Indies to win the series and now have wrapped up the ODI series with a game to spare. They would like to carry this winning momentum and cleansweep this series as well. Will they be able to do that? Toss and teams coming up..
