West Indies vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20I: West Indies vs Sri Lanka preview 

The West Indies vs Sri Lanka 2021 series marks the return of international cricket to the Caribbean after a hiatus of just over a year. The Men in Maroon have come into this series on the back of variably successful and unsuccessful series against Sri Lanka, England, New Zealand and Bangladesh. Sri Lanka's last white-ball series came all the way back in March 2020 against West Indies themselves. The series ended in a 3-0 ODI win for Sri Lanka and a 2-0 T20I series win for the Windies.

Preparing for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, West Indies have recalled some of their greats — Chris Gayle is back into the squad alongside the in-form Fidel Edwards who will be making his comeback into the national team after almost 6 years. Sri Lanka have also called back Dasun Shanaka, who has been replaced by Angelo Mathews for this series along with Dinesh Chandimal and Akila Dananjaya. Having won the first match, West Indies will hope to seal the series on Saturday.
