West Indies Targeting Sri Lankan Whitewash

West Indies has been looking for a complete rout of Sri Lanka in the third ODI at St Lucia. Shivnarine Chanderpaul, and Marlon Samuels have already taken them to impressive back-to-back victories in Trininad - one with last ball and the other one much more comfortable success.  West Indies have secured the series.

For Sri Lanka it's about salvaging pride from a tour that started so promisingly before fading away. They have clearly missed some of their experienced players, but no one ever said rebuilding a side would be easy.

West Indies (probable) Chris Gayle, Sewnarine Chattergoon, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Marlon Samuels, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Dwayne Bravo, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Darren Sammy, Jerome Taylor, Daren Powell, Fidel Edwards

Sri Lanka (probable) Upul Tharanga, Mahela Udawatte, Kumar Sangakkara (wk), Mahela Jayawardene (capt), Tillakaratne Dilshan, Chamara Silva, Chamara Kapugedera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Chaminda Vaas, Ajantha Mendis, Thilan Thushara
