Sri Lanka Beat West Indies by 41 Runs in Pakistan Vs Sri Lanka ODI
Sri Lanka beat West Indies by 41 runs in pakistan vs sri lanka on Wednesday, taking the first ODI and a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Kusal Mendis set the tone with a fifty, and Sri Lanka’s total of 303 proved enough against West Indies’ 262.
Kusal Mendis Drives Sri Lanka
Mendis led from the front for Sri Lanka, while Pathum Nissanka supported him and Charith Asalanka plus Janith Lyanage helped push the innings late. That lifted Sri Lanka past 300 and gave the bowling attack a total to defend.
West Indies began with a 50-run opening stand, then lost both openers quickly. Shai Hope and Keacy Carty later added a 50-plus stand, but the chase never fully recovered after Kamindu Mendis produced a blinder that changed the flow of the match.
Chameera Finishes The Job
Dushmantha Chameera removed Hope and then used reverse swing to run through the West Indies tail. Sri Lanka finished the job by closing out a 41-run win that left the home side needing a response in the series.
The teams meet again at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, on Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. ET, with the match available on Willow TV and Fubo. Sri Lanka then face West Indies again in Kingston on Monday, so the next two games carry the rest of the series.
