Brief History of Myanmar Women’s National Cricket Team
Myanmar’s journey into international women’s cricket began with its debut in Thailand’s World T20 Smash in January 2019. Following the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) decision in April 2018 to grant full Women’s Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to its members, the Myanmar women’s team found themselves on a recognized platform, with all their Twenty20 matches against ICC members since July 1, 2018, eligible for full WT20I status.
Performance Highlights – Myanmar Women’s National Cricket Team
Despite being relatively new to the international scene, Myanmar’s women’s team has shown promise. With 21 WT20I matches under their belt as of September 2023, they have secured victories in 8 encounters, showcasing notable performances such as Khin Myat’s highest individual score of 57 and Zon Lin’s best bowling figures of 6/10. Their journey includes a triumphant 2-0 series win against Singapore in April 2019.
Participating in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Asia Region Qualifier in 2023, Myanmar faced tough competition from established teams like Thailand, Hong Kong, China, and Kuwait, marking significant progress in their development and growth journey.
In the ACC Women’s Premier Cup 2024, Myanmar concluded their campaign in Group A by securing third place with a victory against Singapore. Despite their efforts, they fell short of qualification for the next stage of the tournament.
