WI vs SL 2026 1st T20I Live: After a wet and disappointing end to the three-match ODI series at Kingston in Jamaica, West Indies and Sri Lanka will begin a three-match T20I series at the Sabina Park from Thursday evening. Kusal Mendis-led Sri Lanka annexed the ODI series 1-0 with the last two ODI matches at the same venue washed out due to rain without a ball getting bowled.
But West Indies will be coming into the T20I series full of confidence. They were one win away from reaching the T20 World Cup 2026 semifinals and knocking eventual champions India out from their own tournament. The home side will bank on fire power of their middle-order which features the likes of Sherfane Rutherford from Mumbai Indians, Rovman Powell from Kolkata Knight Riders, Jason Holder from Gujarat Titans and Romario Shepherd, fresh from winning the IPL 2026 title with Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
The visitors, on the other hand, are set to try out southpaw Kamindu Mendis at the top of the order with Pathum Nissanka with the bowling attack will be led by Eshan Malinga and Dushmantha Chameera along with Nuwan Thushara. Depending on the surface on offer at the Sabina Park, the Lankans will have to decide between left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage or pace-bowling all-rounder Milan Rathnayake.
Sri Lanka and West Indies are very evenly matched when it comes to head-to-head record between the two sides. The Lankans have won 10 games and lost 8 till date. Since 2020, the Windies have won 5 and lost 4 in the last 9 games. But Sri Lanka have managed to notch up two wins in three matches so far.
