West Indies vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I: West Indies vs Sri Lanka preview 

The West Indies vs Sri Lanka 2021 series marks the return of international cricket to the Caribbean after a hiatus of just over a year. While they have been out and about almost continuously since cricket restarted mid-pandemic, the Windies' last home tournament came in January 2020 against Ireland. Since then, the Men in Maroon have played against Sri Lanka (March 2020), England (July 2020), New Zealand (November-December 2020) and Bangladesh (February 2021). The last West Indies vs Sri Lanka series ended in a 3-0 ODI win for the hosts and a 2-0 T20I series win for the Windies.

Sri Lanka meanwhile, will be coming into this series having just had two productive but demoralising Test matches against England and South Africa each. Their last bilateral series before that was their March 2020 series against the West Indies. This series will include 3 T20I, 3 ODIs and 2 Test matches. With the ICC T20 World Cup looming, both teams will use this opportunity to hone their sides and find their best possible squad in time for the tournament.

West Indies vs Sri Lanka pitch report and weather forecast

All three T20Is in this series will be played at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua. This will be the first Men's T20I game taking place at this venue. However, going by the Super50 Cup games that just took place here, it will be fair to say that this match can be a high scoring one with lots on offer for batsmen and fast bowlers. Accuweather predicts some rain towards the end of the match, 68% humidity and very little cloud cover.
