| West Indies won the toss and will bowl | |||
| Hello and welcome to the coverage of the third and final match in the three-match one-day international series between West Indies and Sri Lanka, this time coming from the Beausejour Cricket Ground in Gros Islet on the island of St Lucia. | |||
| With a nerve racking win in the first game, the West Indies secured the series with a much more comfortable success in game two, a match heavily affected by the weather but won easily thanks to Shivnarine Chanderpaul again and Marlon Samuels, finally coming into some form. Sri Lanka's young guns have been found lacking but you can be certain that skipper Mahela Jayawardene will want a drastically improved performance from his charges to regain some pride on this tour which started so positively with a fine win in Guyana but has tailed off of late. | |||
| Today's game might be something of an alien experience for the hosts as they play just their second ever floodlit match on home soil. The first, some two years ago against Zimbabwe on this very same ground, ended in a ten-wicket success with over 22 overs to spare. How the hosts will want a repeat to complete a 3-0 series victory against the World Cup runners-up. | |||
| Even though the series is over as a contest, neither side will want to take their foot off the power so very few changes to the teams are likely. West Indian spinner Sulieman Benn might get a game on this wicket that may take some turn while Thilan Thushara could get the nod for the visitors. However, it is fancied that the changes will be kept to a minimum. | |||
| It will be the 46th time that these two sides have played in one-day internationals, but incredibly only the ninth in the Caribbean (they have played 29 on neutral ground!). The head-to-head record favours the home side 26-18 with one no-result but in the Caribbean, the scores are now level at 4-4 in the eight games to date. | |||
| This will be the 16th one-day international to be held on this ground but the West Indies have not played here since they won that previous floodlit game with Zimbabwe in May 2006. Since then, seven World Cup games took place, none of them featuring the hosts. Of the 8 games the West Indies have played, they have won 5 and lost 3. For Sri Lanka, its a first ever visit. | |||
