Sir Vivian Richards Stadium ODI records
Sri Lanka will open their ICC Cricket World Cup Super League campaign against the West Indies cricket team at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound on Wednesday. This series will comprise three ODI matches.
The visitors start as the favorites to win this 3-match series because the Caribbean side does not have an excellent record on this ground. In the last 15 years, the West Indies team has won only three ODI matches at this stadium.

Sri Lanka have never faced West Indies at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. However, the Dimuth Karunaratne-led outfit starts as the favorite to win this series as it whitewashed the Men in Maroon 3-0 in its previous ODI series.
