The India women's cricket team toured Sri Lanka to play against the Sri Lanka women's cricket team in June and July 2022.[1][2] The tour consisted of three Women's One Day International (WODI) and three Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) matches.[3][4] The WODI matches were part of 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship.[5][6] Both teams used the matches as preparation for the women's cricket tournament at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.[7] Harmanpreet Kaur was named as India's new captain for the tour,[8] after Mithali Raj announced her retirement from international cricket.[9]

The visitors won the WT20I series 2–1 and the WODI series 3–0.

India won the opening match of the tour, with a 34-run win in the first WT20I.[10] India won the second WT20I by five wickets,[11] recording their 12th successive win against Sri Lanka in the format,[12] and won the series with a match to play.[13] Sri Lanka won the third and final WT20I by seven wickets.[14] It was Sri Lanka's first win against India at home in a WT20I match.[15]

India won the first WODI match by four wickets.[16] India then won the second WODI by ten wickets to take an unassailable lead in the series.[17] India's run chase in the match was the highest successful target that was chased by a team in WODI cricket without losing a wicket.[18] India won the third and final WODI by 39 runs.[19][20]
