South Africa women's national cricket team

Updated: 12/10/2025, 5:19:20 PM Wikipedia source

The South Africa women's national cricket team, nicknamed the Proteas, represents South Africa in international women's cricket. One of eight teams competing in the ICC Women's Championship (the highest level of the sport), the team is organised by Cricket South Africa (CSA), a full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC). South Africa made its Test debut in 1960, against England, becoming the fourth team to play at that level (after Australia, England, and New Zealand). Because of the sporting boycott of South Africa and other factors, the team did not play any international fixtures between 1972 and 1997. South Africa returned to international competition in August 1997, in a One Day International (ODI) match against Ireland, and later in the year participated in the 1997 Women's Cricket World Cup in India. The team has participated in every edition of the Women's Cricket World Cup since then, and made the tournament semi-finals in 2000 and 2017. South Africa has likewise participated in every edition of the Women's T20 World Cup, and reached the finals twice in 2023 and 2024, but ended up by losing both times to Australia and New Zealand respectively.
