The Barbados women's cricket team is the women's representative cricket team of the country of Barbados. They compete in the Women's Super50 Cup and the Twenty20 Blaze. They have won the last two editions of both tournaments.

History[]

Barbados joined the West Indies domestic structure for its inaugural season in 1975–76, playing in the Federation Championships.[1] They managed one victory that season, beating Grenada by an innings and 83 runs.[2] The following season, 1977, they again won one match and finished 3rd out of 5 teams.[3] Barbados only played in one further season, 1980, before ending their participation in the domestic structure until 2004.[4]

In their return season, 2004, they finished 4th in the league competition of the Federation Championships, as well as reaching the semi-finals of the knockout competition.[5]

In 2013, Barbados reached the final of the second edition of the Twenty20 Blaze, but lost to Jamaica.[6] 2015 saw Barbados win their first 50-over title, topping the league stage of the Regional Championship before beating Jamaica in the final.[7] After finishing as runners-up in the 50-over competition in 2016 and 2016–17, Barbados dominated the next two seasons, winning both competitions in both years.[8][9][10][11] The side went unbeaten throughout the whole 2018–19 season, with Barbadians Deandra Dottin and Hayley Matthews the leading run-scorer and the leading wicket-taker, respectively, in both competitions.[12][13][14][15][16][17] Due to the cancellations of the 2020 and 2021 editions of the Twenty20 Blaze, Barbados will compete at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, as the most recent winner of the tournament. All games they will play will have Twenty20 International status, as stated by the ICC.[18]
