Sri Lankan national cricket team toured Zimbabwe from October to November 2016. The tour was originally scheduled to consist of a two Test matches, three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and a single Twenty20 international (T20I),[1] but in September 2016 the one-day matches were replaced by a triangular series featuring Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka and the West Indies and that the tour of Zimbabwe would be reduced to just the two Test matches.[2] [3] Sri Lanka won the series 2–0.
Sri Lanka last played Zimbabwe in a Test match in 2004.[4] The first Test of the series was the 100th Test match played by Zimbabwe.[4] The second Test of the series used the Decision Review System.[5] This was the first time the technology was used in a game in Zimbabwe, having previously been unavailable due to cost.[5]
Angelo Mathews was ruled out of the tour due to injury and was replaced as captain by Rangana Herath.[8]
