The South Africa women's cricket team toured England to play against the England women's cricket team in June and July 2022. [1] [2] Originally, South Africa were scheduled to tour England in September 2020. [3] The tour was scheduled to consist of four Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs) and two Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is), with all the matches taking place at the County Cricket Ground in Derby. [4] However, in August 2020, the tour was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [5] In February 2022, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced a new schedule for the tour, [6] consisting of three WODI matches, three WT20I matches, [7] and a one-off Women's Test match. [8] It was South Africa Women's first Test match since they played India in November 2014. [9] A points-based system was used across all three formats of the tour. [10]

For the one-off Test match, England fielded four debutants, while South Africa had nine of their players earn their maiden Test cap. [11] Batting first, Marizanne Kapp scored 150 runs before South Africa were bowled out for 284 by the close of play on day one. [12] In reply, England made 417/8 before declaring their innings, with Nat Sciver and Alice Davidson-Richards both making centuries. [13] However, across days three and four multiple rain interruptions meant the match ended in a draw. [14] Nat Sciver was named as the player of the match for her 169 not out. [15]
England won the first WODI by five wickets, [16] with Emma Lamb scoring her first century in an international match. [17] In the second match, Sophia Dunkley also scored her first century in WODI cricket. [18] England won the match by 114 runs to win the WODI series with a match to play. [19] England won the third WODI by 109 runs to win the series 3–0. [20]
England won the opening WT20I match by six wickets, with Katherine Brunt taking her 100th wicket in the format. [21] The win meant that England won the points-based series, taking an unassailable 10–2 lead into the final two matches of the tour. [22] Nat Sciver captained England for the second WT20I, after Heather Knight was ruled out of the match with a hip injury. [23] England won the match by six wickets, to win the WT20I series with one match left to play. [24] Katherine Brunt became England's leading wicket-taker in WT20I cricket, taking her 103rd dismissal in the format. [25] England won the third WT20I by 38 runs, [26] winning the series 3–0, [27] and finished the tour 14–2 winners on points. [28]
