WI vs SL 2026 1st ODI: The road to the ODI World Cup 2027 begins for the two former world champions – Sri Lanka and West Indies – as they face off in a three-match series beginning at the Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, on Wednesday. Only the top 8 teams in the ICC ODI rankings on March 31, 2027 will directly qualify for the ODI World Cup 2027 and hosts West Indies are currently in 9th place while Sri Lanka are just in the qualifying range in 6th position.
Apart from the 8 teams, the other sides will need to play in the qualifying tournament and the former World Cup winners will be keen on avoiding this fate. But Windies will be playing their first ODI match in the last six months, having lost four out of their last 5 matches in this format.

The Lankans are also coming into this series on the back of a 2-1 series loss at home at the hands of England earlier this year. The hosts will be boosted by the addition of Rajasthan Royals batter Shimron Hetmyer, who has been reintegrated back with the ODI side keeping in mind the ODI World Cup. Hetmyer is expected to make his way back into the side in place of young batter Ackeem Auguste.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will be led by Kusal Mendis who has plenty of batting concerns apart from the form of his opener Pathum Nissanka. The Lankans boast of an impressive bowling attack with the likes of Dushmantha Chameera, Eshan Malinga and Dilshan Madushanka capable of bowling with good heat.
SL have a slight edge over West Indies when it comes to head-to-head record in ODI cricket with 33 wins and 32 losses with 3 matches ending in no-result so far.
