Sri Lanka’s triumphant women’s cricket team, fresh from their Asia Cup victory, will embark on a historic tour of Ireland from August 11-20. This will mark Sri Lanka’s maiden bilateral tour of Ireland and Ireland’s first home series of the year.
The tour will feature two T20Is and three ODIs, with the first T20I scheduled for August 11 in Dublin. The second T20I will also be played in Dublin on August 13, followed by the ODI series in Belfast. The ODIs will be part of the 2022-2025 ICC Women’s Championship cycle.
Sri Lanka has enjoyed a remarkable run of form in 2024, winning 18 of their 23 white-ball matches. They also boast an unblemished record against Ireland, having won all six previous encounters. However, Ireland has yet to lose a bilateral series this year, making this tour a significant test for both teams.
The tour will provide a valuable opportunity for both sides to prepare for the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in February 2023. Sri Lanka will be eager to continue their winning ways, while Ireland will be determined to prove their mettle against a top-ranked opponent.
The full schedule of Sri Lanka’s tour of Ireland 2024 is as follows:
* August 11: 1st T20I, Dublin
* August 13: 2nd T20I, Dublin
* August 16: 1st ODI, Belfast
* August 18: 2nd ODI, Belfast
* August 20: 3rd ODI, Belfast
