The 2022 Commonwealth Games Qualifier was a cricket tournament played in Malaysia in January 2022.[1] Five national teams competed for one place in the cricket tournament at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, in Birmingham, England, in July to August 2022.[2] Matches in the qualification tournament were played as Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is).[3]

In November 2020, the ICC announced the qualification process for the 2022 Commonwealth Games tournament.[4] England automatically qualified as the hosts,[5] and were joined by the six highest ranked sides as of 1 April 2021.[6] The final place was decided by the Commonwealth Games Qualifier tournament.[7]

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh both won their first three matches to set up a winner-takes-all contest on the last day of the event.[8][9] Sri Lanka defeated Bangladesh by 22 runs to claim a place at the Commonwealth Games tournament.[10][11] Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu was named as player of the series.[12]
