Nigeria women's national cricket team


The Nigeria women's national cricket team represents the country of Nigeria in international women's cricket. The team is organised by the Nigeria Cricket Federation, which has been a member of the International Cricket Council since 2002.
Nigeria made its international debut at the 2011 ICC Africa Women's T20 Tournament in Uganda. The team lost their first game, against Kenya, by ten wickets, but rebounded to win their next match, against Sierra Leone, by six wickets. They lost their remaining three matches, however, finishing fifth out of six teams overall. Nigeria has not yet played in another Africa-wide tournament, but in August 2015 appeared in an invitation tournament in Dar-es-Salaam, which featured the Tanzanian national team and a team from India's Mumbai Cricket Association.
In April 2018, the ICC granted full Women's Twenty20 International status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Nigeria women and another international side after 1 July 2018 will be a full WT20I. Nigeria made its Twenty20 International debut against Rwanda at Abuja on 26 January 2019. The teams played a five-game series with Nigeria winning by 3-2.
