History

In April 2018, the ICC granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Guernsey women and another international side after 1 July 2018 were eligible for full WT20I status. [6]

Guernsey played their first WT20I on 31 May 2019, defeating neighbours Jersey by seven wickets in the 2019 T20 Inter-Insular Cup at College Field, Saint Peter Port. During the match opening batter Philippa Stahelin scored the first WT20I half-century by a Guernsey player with 56 not out from 52 balls. [7] [8] [9]

On 5 May 2024, Hannah Mechem [n 1] became the first Guernsey bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a WT20I when she bagged 6/6 against the Isle of Man in the second game of a three-match bilateral series held at the Norman Edwards Memorial Ground, Winchester, England. [10] [11] [12]

In August 2024, Guernsey won three out of four matches to finish as runners-up in the 2024 Women's Nordic Cup with victories over Estonia, hosts Norway and a Finland XI while their solitary defeat came in their opening contest against eventual tournament champions Denmark by just five runs.

Inter-Insular cricket refers to cricket contests between representative teams of Jersey and Guernsey in the Channel Islands. An inter-insular match has been played annually between the two sides since 1950 and often attracts crowds above 1,000. It is often referred as ‘reds vs greens’ contest.
