I recently noted the following series and results involving Jamaica and Sri Lanka, along with other West Indies fixtures, with the dates and outcomes summarized for clarity. On June 3, the first One-Day International (ODI) match between Jamaica and Sri Lanka concluded with Sri Lanka winning by 41 runs, as reflected in the scorecard. The second ODI, played in Jamaica under lights, ended with no result due to an interruption, and the scoreboard shows no completed innings for either side. The third ODI, also in Jamaica and under the floodlights, was abandoned without a ball bowled because of rain, leaving the series with no further play. The Twenty20 internationals followed, starting with the first Twenty20 international in Jamaica, which was not completed and was listed as Jamaica (d/n) with West Indies securing the win by seven wickets, according to the match scorecard. The second Twenty20 international in Jamaica saw Sri Lanka win by 37 runs, again noted in the scorecard, while the third Twenty20 international in Jamaica resulted in a West Indies victory by five wickets, as recorded.
Beyond Jamaica’s fixtures, the schedule included matches in Antigua featuring the West Indies Select XI against a West Indies Select XI lineup. The series there saw the West Indies Select XI win by 15 runs, per the scoreboard. Turning to the longer format, the first Test in Antigua resulted in a dominant West Indies victory by an innings and 217 runs, as shown on the scorecard. The July 3–7 second Test in Antigua ended with the match drawn, leaving the series closely contested at that point. It should be noted that fixtures and start times are subject to change, and the BBC should not be considered responsible for any alterations that may occur.
