Sri Lanka will look to record their maiden Test series victory in the Caribbean when they take on the West Indies in the second and decisive match for the Sobers/Tissera Trophy at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua today.
The Sri Lankans are brimming with confidence following their excellent performance in the opening Test where they took major honours in the drawn game at the same venue a few days ago.
After conceding the Twenty20 series and the One Day International series to their opponents, Sri Lanka are now well set to create a piece of history in their final outing of the tour.
Sri Lanka have toured the West Indies on four previous occasions but they are yet to win a series and their last attempt was in 2018 where the three-match series ended in a 1-1 draw.
Sri Lanka’s first tour to the Caribbean was in 1997 and the home side clinched the two-Test series 1-0. The Lankans once again toured the Caribbean in 2003 and lost the two-Test series 0-1.
The two teams then figured in a 1-1 draw in the 2007/08 series held in the West Indies.
