Dambulla, Sri Lanka: After celebrating victories in Test and ODIs, Sri Lanka hopes to extend its run of success to T20s, with their first showdown against the West Indies set to begin Sunday.
Sri Lanka ended a 27-year dry spell by winning an ODI series against India, celebrated a Test victory in England after a decade, and notched their first series win over New Zealand since 2009.
The West Indies are third in the global T20 rankings, while Sri Lanka languishes at a modest eighth.
But a series win could shake things up, with the first of three opening at home at Dambulla.
"We've turned the tide in Test and ODI cricket, and now it's high time to bring that same fire to T20s," skipper Charith Asalanka told reporters.
