On Friday, February 20, 2026, the National Cricket Stadium will host the eagerly anticipated West Indies Women vs. Sri Lanka Women prediction for the first ODI of the three-match series. After erratic performances over the previous 12 months, both teams are hoping to regain consistency in the 50-over format going into this series. While Sri Lanka Women struggled to go past the group stage despite moments of individual brilliance, West Indies Women nearly missed out on qualification for the most recent ODI World Cup due to a lack of net run-rate.
The home conditions in Grenada, where past results indicate chasing teams have had greater success, will give the Caribbean squad confidence. After dominating South Africa in her most recent ODI appearance, scoring 104 runs and taking four wickets in three games, Hayley Matthews is still the key player for the West Indies. In stressful circumstances, her versatility offers leadership and balance. In contrast, Chamari Athapaththu, who amassed 168 runs in five games during the previous World Cup, is a key member of the Sri Lanka Women's team. Despite losing 0–3 on their most recent ODI tour of the West Indies in 2017, Sri Lanka has since strengthened their roster, especially in spin bowling.
