During the first ODI, West Indies once again had to contend with wet conditions at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. After choosing to bat first, they faced unfavorable weather, with rain interrupting play in the 39th over. The rain break came at a crucial time, affecting their momentum and hampering their chances of posting a challenging total.


Sri Lanka’s bowlers made the most of the opportunity on a dry surface early on, and after the rain delay, the West Indies bowlers struggled with a slippery ball. This provided a decisive edge to Sri Lanka, who chased down the revised target and won by five wickets under the DLS method.


Sri Lankan skipper Charith Asalanka acknowledged that the wet conditions played a role in their victory, putting the West Indies bowlers at a disadvantage.
