Fantasy Cricket Tips, Sri Lanka vs West Indies, 1st ODI: The international cricket season is in full swing at the moment as a new series between Sri Lanka and West Indies will soon get underway in the Asian island. Both the teams will look to improve their record in 50 overs cricket as they have not been up to the mark ever since their key players retired.
West Indies were hit by the T20 leagues as the likes of Andre Russell and Dwayne Bravo no longer care for the ODI cricket level. They only prefer to turn up at the big tournaments hence, West Indies will not be at their full strength in this series.
