The Women's Senior T20 Challenger Trophy is women's T20 tournament held in India. The tournament first took place in the 2009–10 season, as the T20 equivalent to the List A Senior Women's Challenger Trophy. The participating teams were the same as in the List A tournament: India Blue, India Green and India Red, with India Green emerging victorious in the final.[1] The tournament later returned in the 2018–19 season, with India Blue winning their first title, defeating India Red by 4 runs in the final.[2][3][4] In the third edition of the tournament, the teams competing were named India A, India B and India C, with India C winning the final by 8 wickets over India B.[5]

Competition format[]

Matches in the tournament are played using a Twenty20 format. In the first season, the three teams played each other once in a round-robin format, with the top two in the group advancing to the final to play-off for the title. In subsequent seasons, the tournament expanded to a double round-robin format, with teams playing each twice in the initial group stage before the top two advanced to the final.[6][7]

Teams are awarded 4 points for a win, with Net Run Rate being the first tiebreaker if teams are joint on points.[8]
