Sri Lanka women's tour of Ireland 2024 full schedule announced

Following their T20 Asia Cup 2024 triumph, the Sri Lanka women's cricket team will tour Ireland for a white-ball series, comprising T20I matches and ODI matches next month. The Sri Lanka women's cricket team will play two T20I matches and three ODI matches against the Ireland women's cricket team.

The Sri Lanka women's cricket team will depart for Ireland on August 6, 2024. This will be the Sri Lanka women's cricket team's first bilateral tour of Ireland. The Ireland women's cricket team will play their third bilateral series of the year after facing Zimbabwe and Thailand in Zimbabwe and the UAE, respectively.

Ireland have not lost a bilateral series this year, but their upcoming series against Sri Lanka will be more challenging. The Sri Lanka cricket team has won 18 of their 23 white-ball matches in 2024. They boast a perfect record against Ireland, winning all three ODIs and three T20Is they've played against them.

Sri Lanka and Ireland will meet for the first time since the 2017 Women's ODI World Cup Qualifier, where Sri Lanka registered a comprehensive victory. They were scheduled to play each other in the 2021 ODI World Cup Qualifier, but the game was canceled due to travel restrictions from the Covid-19 pandemic.
