Sri Lanka will cross swords against West Indies in the second Test of the ongoing two-match series. The mega clash will be played at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. 

West Indies enjoyed stellar success in the first Test, as they swatted aside Sri Lanka by an innings and 217 runs. 

Riding on sensational knocks from Amir Jangoo and Roston Chase, the hosts posted a massive total of 629 runs in their first innings. 

Kemar Roach bowled a magnificent spell, as the Caribbean side bundled their opponents out for 101 runs in the second innings, registering a historic win on home soil. 

So, moving on to the second Test, Sri Lanka would be desperate for a win, while the Windies would be keen to sustain their purple patch and whitewash their opponents. 

Ahead of the decider, here we explain how the Antigua Stadium pitch report and weather report will influence the encounter.
