WI vs SL Match Prediction — Who Will Win 1st ODI? West Indies vs Sri Lanka

West Indies will host Sri Lanka in the opening ODI of the Sri Lanka tour of West Indies 2026 on 3rd June at Sabina Park, Kingston. The West Indies team failed to qualify for the 2023 World Cup and 2025 Champions Trophy, and they are eager to return to the direct qualification zone for the ODI World Cup 2027. Their recent form has been poor; they have lost five of their last six ODIs, with only a win via a Super Over against Bangladesh, and currently sit 10th in the ICC ODI rankings.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka are sixth in the ODI rankings and are slightly better placed than the hosts. They featured in the last World Cup but missed out on the Champions Trophy. They lost their most recent ODI series against England 1-2, and will be eager to bounce back in this series.
