Sri Lanka heads into the second ODI with a 1-0 lead, aiming to secure a series-clinching victory after a solid all-round performance in the opening match. In that game, Nishan Madushka (69) and Charith Asalanka (77) played pivotal roles in chasing down the West Indies’ modest total.
For Sri Lanka, consistency in both batting and bowling will be key as they look to maintain their momentum and wrap up the series. Meanwhile, West Indies will seek to bounce back and level the series with their power-hitters and strategic adjustments ahead of the third and final ODI.

Sri Lanka: Nishan Madushka, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis (wk), Kamindu Mendis, Charith Asalanka (c), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Janith Liyanage, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dunith Wellalage, Jeffrey Vandersay, Asitha Fernando.
