The 2018 Botswana Cricket Association Women's T20I Series was a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament held in Gaborone, Botswana from 20 to 25 August 2018. [1] [2] The participants were the women's national sides of Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia and Sierra Leone. [3] Matches were recognised as official T20I games as per ICC's announcement that full T20I status would apply to all official matches played between women's teams of associate members after 1 July 2018. [4] Zambia also took part in the tournament but their matches did not have T20I status due to their squad including a non-eligible player, and their results are not included in the available coverage. [5] [6] The matches were played at two grounds at the Botswana Cricket Association Oval in Gaborone. [1] Namibia won the tournament after winning all of their matches, including a victory over Sierra Leone in the final. [7]
