The Middlesex Women's cricket team is the women's representative cricket team for the English historic county of Middlesex. They play their home games at various grounds, most commonly at Mill Hill School, and are captained by Saskia Horley. [1] [2] They won Division 2 of the Women's County Championship in 2019 and won the Women's Twenty20 Cup in 2018. [3] They are partnered with the regional side Sunrisers. [4]
Middlesex Women played their first recorded match in 1935, against Civil Service Women, and went on to play various one-off games over the following years, most often against surrounding teams such as Surrey Women. They joined the Women's Area Championship in 1980, winning the first two titles, and winning again in 1985. [5]
After the Area Championship ended in 1996, Middlesex Women were one of the founding teams for the Women's County Championship, beginning in 1997, finishing 5th in Division Two in their first season. [6] After being relegated to Division Three the following season, Middlesex then began a steady rise up through the divisions, finally reaching Division One for the first time in 2011. From here, they remained a mid-table side over subsequent seasons, until they were relegated in 2018, the same year in which they won their first major title, the Twenty20 Cup (after being runners-up in 2014 and 2017). In 2019, the final year of the County Championship, Middlesex won Division 2. [7] Since 2015, Middlesex have also competed in the London Cup, in which they play a Twenty20 match against Surrey. Middlesex won the first five competitions, but Surrey won in 2020. [8] [9] The side has also competed in the Women's London Championship since 2020. [10] In 2021, they competed in the South East Group of the Twenty20 Cup, finishing 5th with 3 wins, and regained the London Cup, beating Surrey by 8 wickets. [11] [12] They won their group of the Twenty20 Cup in 2022, going unbeaten. [13] In the 2023 Women's Twenty20 Cup, Middlesex finished top of their group and reached the group final, but the title was shared due to rain. [14] In 2024, the side finished 3rd in their group in the Twenty20 Cup and 5th in their group in the new ECB Women's County One-Day tournament. [15] [16] They also won the Women's London Championship for the first time, winning all of their matches. [17]
