SLM vs WIM Betting Tips

Dafabet Logo Yellow White

Total runs for Sri Lanka Masters in the first over to be over 5.5 runs

1.54

With the Sri Lankans’ strength in their opening batting partnership, this bet should be nailed on. In their previous match against England Masters, the openers achieved six runs for no loss in their opening over.

Sri Lanka Masters to hit the most fours

1.80

The Sri Lankan batting lineup is power-packed. They should be a safe bet to pepper the boundary with balls flying to all parts. They hit as many as 24 boundary fours inside only 12.5 overs against their English opponents in their last match.

Both teams have deserved their spots in the semi-finals from consistent performances throughout the tournament. Sri Lanka Masters have won four out of five games. West Indies Masters have gone three out of five.

The key meeting between these two teams would be their earlier match of the tournament. The Sri Lankan Masters won by a 21-run margin. They are also “hosting” this fixture by virtue of finishing higher on the league table.

SLM vs WIM Team Previews

Sri Lanka Masters

Captain and wicketkeeper-batter Kumar Sangakkara is renowned as one of cricket's all-time greats. He fell three runs short of a half-century when the teams last met, but also smashed a century against England Masters.

Upul Tharanga is a stylish left-hander. His consistency makes him one of the rocks of the top order. As an adaptable all-rounder, Asela Gunaratne's gritty batting and handy medium-pace bowling have been instrumental in several memorable victories for his country. Gunaratne hit a half-century against West Indies Masters earlier this tournament.

Lahiru Thirimanne is known for his technique and temperament. The left-hander ended his T20 career with almost 1500 runs. Jeevan Mendis is a versatile all-rounder with his leg-spin and aggressive batting adding depth to the team in limited-overs formats.

Seekkuge Prasanna is largely renowned for his leg-spin bowling and lower-order hitting. Prasanna's ability to change the course of a game with both bat and ball has been a significant asset.

Isuru Udana is a left-arm pacer with a knack for innovative batting too. His variations in bowling and late-order striking have made him a valuable T20 specialist. He starred with bowling figures of two for 15 in four overs against West Indies Masters previously.

Chaturanga de Silva is an all-rounder with left-arm spin and aggressive batting. The all-rounder has showcased his talent in domestic circuits with accolades for his consistent performances. Both Perera and de Silva grabbed a wicket each against England Masters.

Suranga Lakmal is a seasoned fast bowler. Lakmal's ability to extract movement and maintain discipline has led Sri Lanka's pace attack in major tournaments.

West Indies Masters

Opening batter Dwayne Smith’s ability to dominate bowlers made him a sought-after player in T20 leagues worldwide. He scored 49 runs against Sri Lanka Masters this tournament. His dynamic fielding adds an extra dimension to the team's fielding unit.

Lendl Simmons has been instrumental in several crucial chases for the West Indies, particularly in the shorter formats. His experience in global T20 leagues enhances the team's power-hitting depth. He made a start with 37 runs unbeaten against the same opponents in the league stage.

Captain Brian Lara is widely regarded as one of the greatest batters in cricket history. The left-hander’s elegant stroke play and record-breaking innings have left an indelible mark on the sport.

Ashley Nurse comes into the team as an off-spinner and hard-hitting middle-order pinch-hitter. Nurse's dual skills provide balance to the team. He grabbed a triple-wicket haul in the previous match against the Sri Lankans.

Chadwick Walton's aggressive batting style and versatility make him an asset in the shorter formats. He smashed a quickfire 38 runs unbeaten off only 12 balls in his previous innings. Narsingh Deonarine is both an accomplished batter and off-spin bowler. Deonarine's all-round capabilities have been beneficial in both the domestic and international arenas.

Jerome Taylor is an express pacer with the ability to generate movement. Taylor has been a spearhead of the West Indies bowling attack across multiple formats to deliver match-winning performances.

Sulieman Benn’s left-arm spin, standing tall at 6 feet 7 inches, has troubled many batters. His ability to extract bounce and turn makes him a crucial component of the bowling attack on a spinning pitch. He also earned a player-of-the-match award against England Masters.

Ravi Rampaul is an experienced fast bowler. The pacer’s ability to swing the ball both ways has earned him accolades in international cricket. He went on a rampage against the South African Masters when he toom five for 26 in four overs.

SLM vs WIM Toss Prediction

Three of the four Sri Lankan wins have come via chasing. Their previous win was by batting second too. That may be their preference. The West Indies could prefer batting first, since their previous win was by 29 runs against South Africa Masters.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur typically offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. Historically, it has been on the slower side. The hot and dry conditions will aid the spinners and batters. The average first innings score over the four group games in Raipur was 202.

The weather in Raipur on matchday is expected to be sunny with some extreme temperatures and a low level of humidity. There is no chance of rain either.

SLM vs WIM: Who Will Win?

The Sri Lankans could be favourites in subcontinental conditions and come into this match with form on their side. The West Indies Masters will be no walkovers themselves with quality players in their sides, but may come undone against their Asian opponents.

SLM vs WIM win percentage is currently at 55% in favor of the Sri Lanka Masters team.
