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.[1] Both sides played their first official T20I matches since the ICC announced that all matches between member nations would be eligible for this status.[2][3] The series helped both teams prepare for the T20 World Cup East Asia-Pacific sub-regional qualifier.[4]
Japan won the opening match of the series by 65 runs, in what was their first international fixture since December 2018.[5] The hosts secured the series with a 75-run victory in the second match.[6] Indonesia picked up a consolation 3-wicket win in the final match, which was their first T20I win.[7] Japan's Reo Sakurano-Thomas was named player of the series.[8]
