The first T20I between West Indies and Sri Lanka begins a new stage of the tour after an ODI series that was heavily affected by rain. Sri Lanka head into the T20Is after winning the ODI series 1-0 in the Caribbean, marking their first bilateral ODI series victory in the region in 13 years. Only the first ODI was completed, where Sri Lanka claimed a 41-run win before rain forced the second and third matches to be abandoned.
