Chris Gayle will be in focus today not just because he made that blistering ton against England but also because he is literally playing at his 'second home'. Can the Lankans stop him? Or will the Windies cruise through on what is expected to be a batting paradise?
Darren Sammy has won the toss and he has opted to field on Chris Gayle's advice. He hopes the crowd can cheer his side.
Teams:
West Indies (Playing XI): Chris Gayle, Johnson Charles, Marlon Samuels, Andre Fletcher, Dwayne Bravo, Andre Russell, Denesh Ramdin(w), Darren Sammy(c), Carlos Brathwaite, Samuel Badree, Sulieman Benn
