What Happened

The Sri Lanka Women’s cricket team is set to face the West Indies Women in a multi-format tour that includes three One Day Internationals (ODIs) followed by three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). The series will commence on February 20, 2026, at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada. Both teams are looking to build momentum ahead of a busy international calendar.

Why It Matters

This series is significant for both teams as they aim to strengthen their combinations and gain valuable experience. The West Indies Women, playing at home, will leverage familiar conditions and feature experienced players such as Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka Women, led by Chamari Athapaththu, come into the series with a strong belief, having an almost evenly balanced head-to-head record in ODIs against the West Indies.

What’s Next

As the series unfolds, both teams will be eager to assert their dominance. The West Indies Women, currently ranked ninth in the ICC standings, will look to improve their position, while Sri Lanka Women, ranked sixth, aim to replicate their previous success against the Windies. The outcome of this series could have implications for both teams as they prepare for future international competitions.
