Sri Lanka A named an unchanged lineup for what was expected to be another close limited overs affair.
Having fun West Indies close last game the home team's batsmen will look to improve again, with so far only Tillakaratne and Atapattu having shown much form.
For West Indies, things are looking rosy with 2 wins from 2 starts, and they take the chance to reshuffle their lineup slightly.
Logie comes in for Adams in the middle order, while Walsh returns from injury in place of the suspended Harper, and Kenny Benjamin comes in for the in form Patterson who gets a rest.
West Indies again look strong and should be favourites.
