# England women's cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2018–19

The England women's cricket team toured Sri Lanka to play the Sri Lanka women's national cricket team in March 2019. The tour consisted of three Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs), which formed part of the 2017–20 ICC Women's Championship, and three Women's Twenty20 International (WT20) matches.
England Women won the WODI series 3–0. The series defeat meant that Sri Lanka Women could no longer qualify directly for the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup, progressing to the 2020 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier tournament instead. England Women also won the WT20I series 3–0.
