Analysis:
Sri Lanka openers Dimuth Karunaratne and Danushka Gunathilaka were quite impressive in the first contest as they smashed fantastic half-centuries. They could prove to be the key players once again coming into this contest. Pathum Nissanka was unfortunately run-out on Wednesday and the talented 22-year-old would be raring to play a big knock playing at No. 3. Ashen Bandara also made a gritty fifty and could be the X-Factor in the middle-order. In the bowling department, Wanindu Hasaranga has been the most impressive bowler on the tour and is expected to be among wicket-takers on Friday.
Shai Hope was the star player in the first contest as he went on to smash his 10th ODI hundred. Jason Holder could be an interesting option in the all-rounders' spot after an impressive outing in the series opener. Although Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard didn't get a chance to bat, their game-changing ability needs no introduction. Both Evin Lewis and Darren Bravo played some delighful shots on Wednesday and could be in for a big score in the 2nd ODI.
