Sir Vivian Richards Stadium North Sound Test records

West Indies will cross swords with Sri Lanka in a 2-Test series at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium this month. Even though both teams have struggled in the ICC World Test Championship, this series offers them an opportunity to improve their position on the table.

The Caribbean team has a brilliant Test record at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Out of the visiting teams, only India have registered a Test win in North Sound. West Indies have won three matches at this stadium, while three Tests have ended in a stalemate.

Sri Lanka have never played a Test at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium before

The Sri Lankan cricket team will play a Test match in North Sound for the first time. Recently, the Islanders lost their first ICC Cricket World Cup Super League series at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.

Dimuth Karunaratne will be the key player for Sri Lanka

Speaking of Sri Lanka's overall record in Test matches at Caribbean venues, they have won only two Tests away from home against West Indies. The home team has emerged victorious in four of the nine Tests against Sri Lanka, with the remaining three games ending in a draw.

The Sri Lankan team won its last Test in West Indies by four wickets in June 2018. It will be interesting to see if the visitors can draw inspiration from that victory for the upcoming matches.
