It’s the 2021 Sri Lanka tour of West Indies where we’ve promised you 3 T20Is, 3 ODIs and a couple of Tests as well. So far, the T20I series is underway and tied 1-1. Sri Lanka was outclassed in the first game but the hosts were then beaten in the second game. We’re perfectly poised for the series finale and if we have to be completely honest, West Indies is a way stronger team on paper.
The hosts have a number of T20 franchise players that have been regularly playing cricket in different leagues across the world in the last couple of months. What we’ve seen is that spin has received some assistance in these two games and we’re continuing at the same ground as the other two games – Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua. Keep reading for our complete BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) fantasy preview of the WI vs SL 3rd T20I…

West Indies
We spoke about the assistance for spinners which means we cannot leave Fabian Allen out of our WI vs SL fantasy team today because he’s given away only 15 runs in 3 overs and has a wicket too, while his batting skills are pretty useful as well, if needed to show them. The very experienced Dwayne Bravo has 3 wickets in 2 games and has gone at only 6 runs per over so he’s another good pick but with the ball mostly.
Someone who hit 6 sixes in an over just 3-4 days ago is a man in prime form which means we can’t leave Kieron Pollard out of WI vs SL Dream11 team today especially because he’s been bowling a lot more often now as well. Talking about all the all-rounders in this side, there’s also the tall and lanky Jason Holder who is usually a floater in the batting order in T20Is and his height will cause problems for the Sri Lankan batters too!
Sri Lanka
Right at the top of the order, we have the less popular Pathum Nissanka and with thirties in both games, he’s got starts and shown potential and because of that consistency, he’s someone certainly worth picking in our BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) WI vs SL 3rd T20I fantasy team. Coming off a fabulous domestic season, Dinesh Chandimal has only managed 14 runs in 2 games and he could be your x-factor pick today!

We spoke about the spin influence and that influences us to pick both the spinners in this team – one being Wanindu Hasaranga who is the leading wicket-taker and the other being Akila Dananjaya who has caused a big mess in the Windies middle order with a hat-trick in the first game. They picked Lakshan Sandakan in the second game and he picked a 3-fer, so it’s even worth a gamble going for all three spinners!
