The second and final Test match of the Sobers-Tissera Trophy series between West Indies and Sri Lanka begins on July 3, 2026, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.

The hosts hold a 1-0 lead after a commanding performance in the first Test.

Kemar Roach claimed his 300th Test wicket, becoming the fifth West Indian to reach that milestone.

Captain Roston Chase scored 194 runs, while Amir Jangoo made a maiden double century.

Their 401-run partnership for the sixth wicket set a new record for the highest sixth-wicket stand in Test cricket.

Injury Concerns for Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka must make changes due to injuries. Opening batsman Pathum Nissanka is unavailable after wrist surgery in London.

Fast bowler Lahiru Kumara is also ruled out.

The visitors aim to improve their batting to support captain Dhananjaya de Silva. They need a strong performance to earn World Test Championship points.

West Indies seek a clean sweep to end their home series on a high.
