Women's cricket at the 2019 South Asian Games was held in Pokhara, Nepal from 2 to 8 December 2019. The women's event featured teams from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Nepal. Sri Lanka named an under-23 squad,[1] while matches played between Bangladesh, Maldives and Nepal were granted Women's Twenty20 International status. Matches were played at the Pokhara Stadium.[2]

On 2 December 2019, the Maldives played their first-ever WT20I match, when they faced Nepal in the opening match of the tournament.[3] In the same match, Anjali Chand of Nepal took six wickets without conceding a run.[4] On 5 December 2019, Bangladesh beat the Maldives by 249 runs, with the Maldives bowled out for just six runs in their innings.[5]

Nepal beat the Maldives by ten wickets in the play-off match to win the bronze medal.[6] In the match, the Maldives were dismissed for just eight runs, to record the second lowest total in a WT20I match.[7] Only one run came from the bat, with the other seven runs coming from wides.[8] Nine cricketers were dismissed without scoring.[9]

In the final, Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka by two runs to win the gold medal.[10] Bangladesh defended seven runs from the final over of the match to win their first ever gold in cricket at the South Asian Games.[11][12]
