[edit]

Nigeria Women made their international debut at the2011 ICC Africa Women's T20 Tournament in Uganda.[4] The team lost their first game, againstKenya, by ten wickets,[5] but rebounded to win their next match, againstSierra Leone, by six wickets.[6] They lost their remaining three matches (againstNamibia,Tanzania, andUganda), finishing fifth out of six teams overall.[7] In August 2015 Nigeria appeared in an invitation tournament inDar es Salaam, which featured theTanzanian national team and a team from India'sMumbai Cricket Association.[8]

In April 2018, the ICC granted fullWomen's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, allTwenty20 matches played between Nigeria women and another international side since 1 July 2018 have the WT20I status.[9] Nigeria made itsTwenty20 International debutagainst Rwanda atAbuja on 26 January 2019. The teams played a five-game series which Nigeria won 3-2.[10]

In December 2020, the ICC announced the qualification pathway for the2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.[11] Nigeria were named in the2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier regional group, alongside ten other teams.[12]
