PREVIEW FOR DREAM11 FANTASY
After being blanked 0-3 in the ODI series, West Indies will be hoping for a quick turnaround of fortunes as the tour heads into the twenty-over format.
Sri Lanka has not had a good time of late in the game’s twenty-over format. Since last year, they have played 15 T20 internationals out of which they have won 4, lost ten and tied1. They have won only one of their previous seven bilateral T20I series

On the match day, the weather forecasted to be partly cloudy. The daytime temperature is going to reach 34 °c, and the temperature is going to dip to 20 °c at night. It will be dry with no precipitation.
PITCH REPORT
Traditionally, the pitch at Pallekele is perfect for batting, and the final ODI on Sunday was proof of that where both the teams scored over 300 runs. 167 is the average first-innings score in this ground in T20Is.
