WIC President's XI vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I: WICP-XI vs SL preview 

Winless in all their bilateral series since March 2020, Sri Lanka will be looking to finally put their rough year behind them with a win in the Test series against the West Indies. The visitors will come into this series with back-to-back Test series losses against South Africa and England and a comprehensive white-ball series defeat against West Indies. This two-day practice Test will kick off the two-match Test series between the two sides which Sri Lanka will be desperate to win. 

The West Indies, meanwhile, will be coming into this match with strong ODI and T20I series victories against Sri Lanka and a hugely successful Test series against Bangladesh and will look to continue that form to close out their series. The hosts will have Shai Hope at their disposal for this practice and will hope that he makes a smooth transition to red-ball cricket from his recent white-ball form. They will also have Kyle Masters, who made a dazzling double-ton on debut in Bangladesh, earlier this year.
