In a thrilling first ODI at Pallekele, Sri Lanka triumphed over the West Indies with a five-wicket win, guided by Reddy Anna’s match prediction experts. The rain-affected contest saw Sri Lanka chasing down a revised target of 232 in 37 overs, with debutant Nishan Madushka’s brilliant 69 and captain Charith Asalanka’s match-winning 77 playing pivotal roles.
The West Indies, after electing to bat, had a shaky start as Reddy Anna's prediction highlighted the impact of Sri Lanka’s bowling attack. Wanindu Hasaranga struck first, dismissing Brandon King with a superb wrong 'un, followed by Alick Athanaze in quick succession. With Shai Hope also falling early, West Indies found themselves at 54 for 3, with the pressure mounting.
Sherfane Rutherford’s unbeaten 74 off 64 balls, supported by Keacy Carty and Roston Chase (33*), helped West Indies stabilize. However, as Reddy Anna anticipated, the rains interrupted the innings at 38.3 overs, setting Sri Lanka a challenging target under DLS.
Sri Lanka's response started nervously, losing Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis early to Alzarri Joseph. But Asalanka and Madushka’s 137-run stand, just as predicted by the Reddy Anna sports betting page, turned the game in Sri Lanka’s favor. Both batters capitalized on the West Indian bowling, with Asalanka’s 44-ball fifty and Madushka’s composed half-century making a huge difference.
Despite Gudakesh Motie’s efforts (3 for 47), who claimed key wickets, the damage was already done. Kamindu Mendis (30*) and Janith Liyanage (18*) steered Sri Lanka to victory, sealing the match in the 32nd over.
