Conclusion

The Sri Lanka vs West Indies 2nd T20I is likely to be affected by weather. If the match is affected by rain at the start, spinners will get more benefits and it will be harder to bat.

Also, since the rain would occur in the morning, the match will become more low-scoring. A 150+ total is expected to be a good total to defend at the stadium.

However, it is to be noted that the first T20I also had the chance of rain in the morning but not in the evening and it took place without any impact of weather. Hence, something similar can happen in the 2nd T20I too.
