Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka won the toss and decided to bat first against West Indies in Dambulla on Tuesday (October 15), in the second T20I of their three-match series.
With the Windies having won the first game with ease, they now have the opportunity of clinching the three-match away series one game in advance.
Asalanka’s men, on the other hand, will look to bounce back and level things up before the final clash on Thursday.
The T20I series will be followed by a three-match ODI series in Pallekele, starting October 20.
