The 2018 Women's Cricket Super League, or 2018 Kia Super League for sponsorship reasons, was the third season of the Women's Cricket Super League (WCSL), the semi-professional women's cricket competition in England and Wales. The competition, run by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), consisted of six franchise teams playing in a Twenty20 format. [1] Western Storm were the defending champions.
Surrey Stars won the competition, defeating Loughborough Lightning by 66 runs in the final. [2] Smriti Mandhana, an Indian player for Western Storm, was named player of the tournament, after she finished as the tournament's top run-scorer. [3]
Six teams competed for the T20 title which took place between 22 July and 27 August 2018. The six teams played each other twice in a round robin format, with the top three teams progressing to a Finals Day at the County Ground, Hove. [4]
