History

North West Women first played in the 1996–97 season, appearing in the Women's Inter-Provincial Tournament. They have competed in the provincial one-day tournament ever since. [1] They finished as runners-up in the 1998–99 tournament, losing in the final to Northerns. [2] They joined the CSA Women's Provincial T20 Competition for its inaugural year in 2012–13. [1]

They won their first one-day title in 2016–17, beating Gauteng in the final, where Lizelle Lee scored 84 and took 4/20 from 4.3 overs. [3] They won their second title two seasons later, in 2018–19, this time beating Western Province in the final. [4] That season they completed the double by winning their first T20 title, going unbeaten in the tournament. [5] The following season, 2019–20, they retained their one-day title, by virtue of topping the group on average points when the season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [6] When the T20 Competition was similarly curtailed, North West ended as runners-up. [7] In 2021–22, they claimed their fourth one-day title, winning the Top 6 league of the Women's Provincial Programme. [8] However, in 2022–23, they finished bottom of the Top 6 league in the Women's Provincial Programme, meaning they were relegated in both the 50-over and T20 tournaments. [9]
