The third and final T20I of the three-match series between West Indies and Sri Lank🍸a will🍬 be played at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua on March 7.
The match is scheduled to start at 6:00 PM local time, 10:00 PM GMT or 3:30 AM IS🅠T (March 8), and it will be streamed live on FanCode.
The hosts, West Indies, will hope that the top-four of Lendl Simmons, Evin Lewis, Chriꦓs Gayle and Nicholas Pooran offer a lot more than they have so far in the previous two games. Akeal Hosein, who had an impressive CPL, could replace Fabian Allen in the final XI.
On the🎃 other hand, Sri Lanka are unlikely to make any changes in their winning line-up.
Pitch report
Spinners are very effective at the Cooꦏlidge Cricket Ground, but disciplined fast bowling has also proven useful. This venue in Antigua is not the typical high-scoring one, majorly 💯due to the slowness of the track. To set a big target for the opposition, at least a batsman needs to play patience knock and rotate strike at regular intervals. 160 has been a defendable total at this venue.
