The West Indies women's cricket team toured Sri Lanka in June 2024 to play three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches against Sri Lanka.[1][2][3][4] The ODI series formed part of the 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship.[5] The T20I series formed part of both teams' preparation ahead of the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup tournament,[6] and Sri Lanka's preparation for the 2024 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup.[7] In May 2024, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) confirmed the fixtures for the tour.[8]

Originally the ODI series was scheduled to be played at the Galle International Stadium in Galle.[9] However, it was later shifted to the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium in Hambantota.[10][11]

Sri Lanka won the first and second ODI by 6 wickets and 5 wickets respectively,[12] and seal the series 2–0.[13] It was Sri Lanka's first series win over the West Indies in the format since their series in 2008.[14] Sri Lanka won the third and last ODI by 160 runs and won the ODI series 3–0, securing a whitewash.[15]

In the first T20I, Sri Lanka won by 4 wickets thanks to career-best bowling figures from Chamari Athapaththu.[16] This was their first victory over West Indies in the format since West Indies' tour in 2015.[17] A four-wicket haul by Afy Fletcher helped West Indies level the series by winning the rain-affected second T20I.[18][19] Shemaine Campbelle's unbeaten 41 runs Hayley Matthews's 49 runs helped West Indies to win the T20I series 2–1 by winning the third T20I by 6 wickets.[20][21]
