The Zimbabwe cricket team toured Sri Lanka in June and July 2017 to play one Test match and five One Day Internationals (ODIs).[1] [2] [3] Originally, the schedule was for two Test matches and three ODIs.[4] [5] [6] It was Zimbabwe's first tour of Sri Lanka since January 2002. All the matches were played as day games.[7]
Zimbabwe won the ODI series 3–2,[8] their first ever series win against Sri Lanka.[9] It was their first away series win since 2009[10] and the first away series win against a Test nation since defeating Bangladesh in 2001.[11] It was also Zimbabwe's first win in a five-match series away from home.[12] Zimbabwe's captain, Graeme Cremer, said the victory was "the pinnacle of my career".[13] In contrast, Sri Lanka's captain, Angelo Mathews, said the defeat was "one of the lowest points in my career"[14] and stepped down as captain of the team in all three formats the following day.[15] Dinesh Chandimal was later named the new Test captain.[16] Sri Lanka went on to win the one-off Test match by 4 wickets.[17]
