In a landmark victory for West Indies cricket, the team clinched their first test series win in three years, defeating Sri Lanka 1-0.

West Indies responded robustly, scoring 499, highlighted by Justin Greaves' remarkable 180 and Shai Hope's significant contribution of 112. Although Sri Lanka declared their second innings at 251-9, continuous rain thwarted any chance of a conclusive result in the high-scoring match.
