National Cricket Stadium: Pitch Report

The National Cricket Stadium is expected to help the spinners, especially once the ball gets old. Batters will have to work hard for their runs. Running between the wickets will also be crucial. Keeping wickets in hand could benefit the batting team as they can catch up in the latter stage of the innings.

WI W vs SL W: Probable Best Performers of the Match Probable Best Batter: Hayley Matthews

Hayley Matthews is going to be a key player once again for the West Indies.

The talismanic captain will look to get her team off to solid starts at the top of the order. Matthews doesn't have a great record with the bat, but she can improve it across the next three games.

Probable Best Bowler: Stafanie Taylor

Stafanie Taylor is third on the list of leading wicket-takers in ODIs between the West Indies and Sri Lanka. She has 30 scalps from 26 matches at an average of 19.13. Taylor will look to keep things tight and build pressure on the Sri Lanka batters through the middle overs.
