New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women 2024/25

The contest between New Zealand Women and Sri Lanka Women is defined by bilateral series rather than a single named league or cup competition. These matches are sanctioned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and governed by New Zealand Cricket (NZC) and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). The first official One Day International (ODI) between the two nations was played on November 3, 2015, in Lincoln, New Zealand, during the Sri Lanka Women's tour of New Zealand 2015/16. The first Twenty20 International (T20I) followed shortly after on November 15, 2015, in Christchurch. The standard format for these bilateral tours typically consists of three ODIs followed by three T20Is. The matches serve as part of the ICC Women's Championship for ODIs and preparation for ICC events like the T20 World Cup for T20Is. Unlike domestic leagues, there is no promotion or relegation; the teams compete as Full Members of the ICC. Historically, New Zealand Women have dominated the head-to-head record. As of late 2025, New Zealand leads the ODI record with 13 wins to Sri Lanka's 2, with 2 matches resulting in No Results out of 17 total encounters. In T20Is, New Zealand holds a commanding lead with 12 to 14 wins against Sri Lanka's 2 wins, with one No Result. Sri Lanka Women achieved their first bilateral ODI series win against New Zealand in July 2023 when they toured Sri Lanka. A notable recent series occurred in March 2025, when Sri Lanka toured New Zealand; New Zealand won the ODI series 2-0 (with one match abandoned) and the T20I series was drawn 1-1 (with one match abandoned).
