Sri Lanka’s first game of this Tri-series is expected to be completed without any interruptions. The ground could witness clouds at regular intervals.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The Sir Viv Richards Stadium in Antigua has been a low scoring venue with totals of 160s getting defended successfully. With a couple of day gap after the first two matches, we might see a better track for the game between West Indies and Sri Lanka. Generally, the tracks here are good enough for successful chases around 240 during ODI matches.
