The West Indies cricket team toured Sri Lanka in October 2024 to play the Sri Lanka cricket team.[1] The tour consisted of three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[2] [3] In November 2023, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) announced its international calendar for 2024 and confirmed the bilateral series.[4]

West Indies won the first T20I by five wickets, with Brandon King and Evin Lewis, both scoring match winning half-centuries.[5] The hosts won the second T20I by 73 runs, with Pathum Nissanka's 54 and Dunith Wellalage's 3/9.[6] Sri Lanka won the third and final T20I by nine wickets, with Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera, both scoring unbeaten half-centuries of 68 and 55 respectively,[7] to secure their first ever T20I series victory over West Indies.[8] [9]
