Historical Highlights – Guernsey Women’s National Cricket Team
In April 2018, the ICC granted Women’s Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Consequently, all WT20I matches played between Guernsey and other ICC members, since 1 July 2018, are recognized as official international matches.
Guernsey’s debut WT20I match took place on 31 May 2019, when they defeated Jersey by seven wickets in the 2019 T20 Inter-Insular Cup at College Field, Saint Peter Port. In this match, opening batter Philippa Stahelin scored the first WT20I half-century for Guernsey, making 56 not out from 52 balls.
On 5 May 2024, Hannah Eulenkamp became the first Guernsey bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a WT20I, with figures of 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.
