# Indonesian cricket team in Japan in 2022–23

The Indonesia cricket team toured Japan in October 2022 to play a three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) bilateral series at the Sano International Cricket Ground in Sano against hosts Japan. Both sides played their first official T20I matches since the ICC announced that all matches between member nations would be eligible for this status. The series helped both teams prepare for the T20 World Cup East Asia-Pacific sub-regional qualifier.
Japan won the opening match of the series by 65 runs, in what was their first international fixture since December 2018. The hosts secured the series with a 75-run victory in the second match. Indonesia picked up a consolation 3-wicket win in the final match, which was their first T20I win. Japan's Reo Sakurano-Thomas was named player of the series.
