Sri Lanka plans to make a couple of changes for the second ODI against the West Indies at SSC grounds on Thursday, following their unimpressive performance on the field on the previous outing. The bowling lacked penetration except for the pace of Lasith Malinga who made a fine impact by capturing three wickets in the first one day with two of them in one over during power play.
The West Indies were well on course towards reaching a total of nearly three hundred runs when Malinga struck like lightening twice in one over while capturing the key wickets of Adrian Barath and Ramnaresh Sarwan.
The rest of the bowling failed to make any inroads although Nuwan Kulasekera provided the early breakthrough by removing the dangerous Chris Gayle.
However Angelo Mathews went for 35 runs from seven overs while Ajantha Mendis conceded 50 runs from nine overs. Sri Lanka will have the option of introducing all rounder Thisara Perera or strengthening the pace attack by bringing in Dilhara Fernando into the team.
