West Indies vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI Live Streaming: When, Where and How to Watch in India
Sri Lanka’s tour of the West Indies begins on Wednesday, June 3, with the first ODI of a three-match series at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica. The match is important for both teams, especially the West Indies, who are trying to strengthen their position in the ICC ODI rankings ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup qualification cutoff. Only the top eight teams in the rankings by March 31, 2027, will qualify directly for the tournament, while the remaining teams will need to go through the qualifying event. West Indies are currently ninth, while Sri Lanka sit sixth.
This series also marks the West Indies’ return to ODI cricket after a gap of six months. Their recent record in the 50-over format has been disappointing, with four defeats in their last five matches. They lost a bilateral series 2-1 to Bangladesh and were then swept 3-0 by New Zealand. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, arrive in the Caribbean after back-to-back ODI series losses. Pakistan beat them 3-0 late last year, and England defeated them 2-1 at home earlier this year. Both teams will be eager to start the series strongly and improve their momentum.
The first ODI will begin at 8:00 PM Indian Standard Time on Wednesday, June 3. The toss is scheduled for 7:30 PM IST. In Kingston, the match will start at 9:30 AM local time. There is a time difference of more than 12 hours between Kingston and India.
For fans in India, there will be no television broadcast of the West Indies vs Sri Lanka ODI series. However, live streaming of the first ODI will be available on the FanCode website and app. Viewers will need to use the digital platform to follow the match live from India.
West Indies have named a squad featuring Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Roston Chase, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, and Shamar Joseph, among others. The side also includes Akeem Auguste, John Campbell, Keacy Carty, Matthew Forde, Shamar Springer, Jaden Seales, Amir Jangoo, Justin Greaves, and others.
