Windies, Sri Lanka series a cracker in the making 

Angelo Mathews

A cracker of a series is anticipated between West Indies and host Sri Lanka when the two sides kick off their three-match ODI and T20 series today in Sri Lanka’s capital, Colombo. 

The series may fly under the radar as the world’s attention may be fixed on India’s ongoing tour of New Zealand while David Warner and Steve Smith’s return to South Africa has been grabbing the headlines, providing plenty of talking points. 

Nevertheless, the three-match ODI and two T20s between the eighth and ninth-ranked Sri Lanka and West Indies could jolt the cricketing world’s attention their way if all the stars align.
