Verdict

West Indies v Sri Lanka - 2nd ODI

Shai Hope is in excellent form with four successive 50+ scores in ODI cricket. I'm backing him to score over 32.5 runs, as well as go on and be the Windies top batsman and win the man of the match award. For Sri Lanka, Danushka Gunathilaka showed his class with the bat in the 1st ODI. He is backed to top score for his side.
