SL vs WI 1st Test Day 5 Predictions and Betting Tips

The first Test of the two-match series is being played between Sri Lanka and West Indies. This World Test Championship fixture is being played at the Galle International Cricket Stadium in Galle from November 21. This also brings us an opportunity to make money from the final day of this game. Therefore I have handpicked three of the best betting tips from the SL vs WI 1st Test Day 5 clash.

Sri Lanka are in the driver’s seat as they just need four West Indian wickets on the final day of this game to register what will be a wonderful Test victory. Sri Lanka have won just two Test matches in the last couple of years. One came against Bangladesh and the other was against Zimbabwe. So a victory in the ongoing match against West Indies will boost their confidence massively. Just the two wins from 10 Test matches won’t make Mickey Arthur (Sri Lanka Head Coach) a happy man but adding one more to the total will. Sri Lanka set a tricky target of 348 runs for the visitors and the spinners were successful in spinning a web around the top half of the batting order. West Indies are now 52/6 at stumps on Day 4 and the match is almost over. It is just a matter of time for Sri Lanka to pocket this game and rejoice a hard-earned victory after a long time. Last couple of times they played at Galle, they were battered by England but this time skipper Dimuth Karunaratne had other plans. While we wait for tomorrow’s game, let’s get you hooked to the top betting tips from the SL vs WI 1st Test Day 5 head-to-head clash.

SL to win

This is the most ridiculously guaranteed bet that you can get in this lifetime! There is no way West Indies are thwarting Sri Lanka’s spinners on the final day of this Test match on a subcontinental pitch that is turning square already. As you already know, Sri Lanka need just 4 wickets to win this Test match and I doubt it will even go beyond the lunch session. However, with all due respect to the remaining West Indian batters, I must say that this has been an extremely good game of cricket. West Indies, indeed, have fought valiantly in order to challenge the Lankans in their backyard but they seemed to have come up short. These two nations first played a Test match back in 1993, which was 28 years ago. Ever since then, West Indies have won only four Test matches against Sri Lanka. West Indies have never beaten Sri Lanka on their home soil. In fact, the last time West Indies won a Test match against Sri Lanka was back in 2018 and that too, the victory came in Port of Spain.

SL vs WI Player Bets:

It is obvious that the two batters at the crease will get the preference over others. Thus Nkrumah Bonner and Joshua Da Silva are the only picks from the SL vs WI 1st Test Day 5 encounter.

Nkrumah Bonner to do well with the bat

The West Indian top-order batter Nkrumah Bonner is my next pick from the list of odds that might be available until late tonight. He missed out in the first innings after scoring a solitary run but he has held on to his wicket in the second and is currently unbeaten on 18* runs. Bonner has played 8 matches so far and has 448 runs under his belt at an average of 37.33. However, Bonner has played three matches against Sri Lanka and has 163 runs already to his name at a very impressive average of 54.33. In the fourth match innings, the right-handed batsman has an incredible average of 74.33. Batting at number three for his nation, Bonner has an average of 30.71. Parimatch will be the first website to offer best of odds for Nkrumah Bonner on the final day of the Test match.

Joshua Da Silva to score a few runs

A young prospect for the Windies, Joshua Da Silva is also in the middle battling against those Sri Lankan spinners alongside Bonner. Being just 23 years of age, Da Silva has a long way to go in his cricketing career. But you will be surprised to know. Da Silva has been dismissed only twice in five innings against Sri Lanka in Tests. In 10 matches so far in his career, Da Silva has scored 402 runs at an average of 25.12. In the ongoing calendar year, Da Silva has posted 342 runs at an average of 24.42. In the second team innings, the wicket-keeper batter has an average of 24.12. Parimatch should be your go-to website for Joshua Da Silva from the SL vs WI 1st Test Day 5 match prediction.
