The West Indies women's cricket team played the South Africa women's cricket team in January and February 2022.[1] The tour consisted of four Women's One Day International (WODI) matches.[2][3] Originally the tour was scheduled to consist of five WODIs and three Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) matches,[4][5] but a revised schedule was issued ahead of the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup.[6]

In January 2022, South Africa's captain Dane van Niekerk suffered a fractured ankle, ruling her out this series and the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup.[7] Lizelle Lee was also ruled out of South Africa's squad due to COVID-19,[8] with Suné Luus named as the team's captain for the series in Lee's absence.[9]
The first WODI match ended as a no result, with rain ending South Africa's run chase after 17.4 overs.[10] Earlier, Deandra Dottin had made her career-best total, with 150 not out before the rain came.[11] The second match finished in a tie,[12] with the West Indies winning the Super Over.[13] In the third match, Laura Wolvaardt scored a century as South Africa won by 96 runs to level the series.[14] South Africa won the fourth and final match by six wickets to win the series 2–1.[15] It was South Africa's fifth consecutive WODI series win, starting with a 3–0 win against New Zealand in January 2020.[16]
