West Indies vs Sri Lanka T20I: Series won, questions unanswered

Having gone months without watching this team with any regularity, carving out the time felt less like a choice and more like an obligation. For those of us who followed every moment of the World Cup campaign, this series felt like a reunion, and it was a reunion that ended the right way. 

West Indies' 2-1 series win over Sri Lanka represents their first bilateral T20I series victory since 2024, and that alone deserves recognition. Winning at home, particularly after dropping game two, required character, and this team has repeatedly shown that it possesses exactly that. The celebrations in the dressing room were hard-earned.

But series wins should also prompt honest reflection. New Zealand arrive in July, and the questions raised across these three T20Is won't disappear because of a trophy lift.
