The first match of the T20I series is scheduled to get underway today (June 12) at the iconic Sabina Park in Jamaica.
After winning the toss, Mendis chose to set a target, backing his batting unit to post a competitive total on what is expected to be a good batting surface.
Both teams will be aiming to make a strong start to the series, with Sri Lanka looking to continue their positive form in the shortest format, while the West Indies hope to capitalize on home conditions.
The match is expected to attract significant attention from cricket fans as two exciting sides clash in the Caribbean.
