The Sri Lanka vs West Indies ODI series was a turn-off in terms of match happenings. Only the first ODI was successfully conducted, and the next two matches were abandoned due to rain. Nevertheless, the excitement continues as the West Indies will face Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series soon.

The first T20I match will take place on June 12, with the match starting at 6:00 AM IST. The match is scheduled at the iconic Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, where the hosts will look to regain their momentum after the ODI loss.

Led by Shai Hope, the Caribbeans display a powerful squad of batters, bowlers and all-rounders who have come off well after their heroic IPL 2026 campaigns. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will be led by Kusal Mendis, with their squad also featuring heavyweights and fresh faces.
