West Indies vs Sri Lanka prediction
The West Indies have played eight Test matches in this WTC cycle and they have lost seven and drawn one with those matches. The Windies’ most recent Test saw them hammered by New Zealand in successive Tests after a dramatic draw in their first Test in Christchurch.
Sri Lanka come into this one having most recently played Test cricket as far back as last June. They produced a 1-0 series win against Bangladesh, with Kamindu Mendis continuing to star and they will fancy themselves to go far in this cycle.
The Sri Lankans narrowly missed out on the top two and the WTC final in 2023-25 and they will challenge again, beginning this one as firm favourites in Antigua and Barbuda.
West Indies vs Sri Lanka tip: Sri Lanka to win
