The 2018 Botswana Cricket Association Women's T20I Series was a women's T20I cricket tournament held in Gaborone, Botswana from 20 to 25 August 2018.[1][2] The participants were the women's national sides of Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia and Sierra Leone.[1] Matches were recognised as official WT20I games as per ICC's announcement that full WT20I status would apply to all matches played between women's teams of associate members after 1 July 2018.[3] Zambia also took part in the tournament but their matches did not have WT20I status due to their squad including a non-eligible player, and their results are not included in the coverage provided by Cricinfo.[4] The matches were played at two grounds at the Botswana Cricket Association Oval in Gaborone.[1] Namibia Women won the tournament after winning all of their matches, including a victory over Sierra Leone in the final.[5]
