West Indies won the toss and will bat first in the second ODI against Sri Lanka which began a short while ago at the R. Premadasa ICS in Colombo today (4). West Indies, with the absence of their regular skipper Jason Holder, will be led by Marlon Samuels. Holder was banned for one match for maintaining a slow over rate in the first ODI, which the Sri Lankans won by 1 wicket. The Windies have made two changes, brining in Jermaine Blackwood and Ravi Rampaul in place of Holder and Andre Russell. Dinesh Chandimal, who served a one-match ban in the first ODI, makes a comeback to the side at the expense of Dhanushka Gunathilaka. West Indies: Johnson Charles, Andre Fletcher (wk), Jermaine Blackwood, Darren Bravo, Marlon Samuels (Capt), Jonathan Carter, Jason Mohammed, Carlos Brathwaite, Rerome Taylor, Sunil Narine, Ravi Rampaul.
