Botswana women's national cricket team
The Botswana women's national cricket team represents the country of Botswana in women's cricket matches.
In April 2018, the International Cricket Council granted full Women's Twenty20 International status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Botswana women and another international side after 1 July 2018 were a full WT20I.
Botswana's first WT20I matches were contested as part of the Botswana 7s tournament in August 2018 against Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Sierra Leone and Zambia however Zambia's matches were not classified as WT20Is as they had a Botswana player in their squad. Botswana finished third on the table with three wins and two losses and won the third place play off against Mozambique by a margin of nine wickets.
The team is currently coached by Karabo Motlanka.Records and statistics
