Sri Lanka Women vs West Indies Women, 1st ODI: Probable XI, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details

The West Indies Women’s tour of Sri Lanka begins on Saturday, June 15, 2024. The two teams will be competing in a limited-overs series, comprising three ODIs and three T20Is. It will come to an end on Friday, June 28.

The three-match ODI series will be followed by a three-match T20I series. The Galle International Stadium will be hosting all games of the ODI series before the action shifts to Hambantota. The Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium will host all three T20Is.

The first ODI will be played on Saturday. All the games of the ODI series are part of the ICC Championship and crucial points are up for grabs for both sides who are reeling in the bottom half of the points table.

Chamari Athapaththu will be leading Sri Lanka Women against the Caribbean side. They recently won the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2024 and will be high in confidence. They will be looking to carry forward the winning momentum in the upcoming series against the West Indies Women.

The West Indies Women, on the other hand, will be led by Hayley Matthews. They faced Pakistan Women in a limited-overs series, whom they whitewashed in a three-match ODI series before winning the T20I series by a 4-1 margin. They will be eager to emulate the same performance on the Lankan shores.
