West Indies vs Sri Lanka 1st Test prediction and preview 

While it was expected that West Indies and Sri Lanka will be involved in a closely fought battle, hosts West Indies have emerged as the more dominant team out of the two so far in the tour. Sri Lanka have managed to win only a single T20I fixture so far in their tour and the hosting nation has pocketed both the ODI and T20I series. The touring party will be looking to stage a miraculous turnaround in the red-ball matches as they look to salvage their pride. Considering their recent Test form, West Indies seem to have an upper hand in the upcoming contest.

The wicket at Antigua is likely to be favourable for the bowlers. Faster bowlers are likely to dominate the contest, whereas there will not be much for the spinners. It will not be easy for the batsmen to score runs at a frantic pace on the surface. The captain winning the toss could look to bowl first on the pitch. 

As per AccuWeather, there will be a significant cloud cover on the opening day of the game. However, fortunately for the two teams, there are no chances of rain interrupting the live action. The wicket is likely to be a little damp as overnight rain is expected.
