The 2022 ACC Women's T20 Championship was a women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) cricket tournament that was held in Malaysia from 17 to 25 June 2022.[1] The tournament was organised by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and the top two sides qualified for the 2022 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup.[2] The series was the last to be played at the Kinrara Academy Oval before the ground closed on 30 June 2022.[3]
The tournament was contested by 10 teams,[4] including the hosts Malaysia, as well as Bahrain, Bhutan, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Nepal, Oman, Qatar, Singapore and United Arab Emirates.[5] The ACC Women's Championship was last contested in 2013.[6]
The tournament began with comfortable victories for Nepal and Malaysia, before both afternoon matches were both abandoned after rain stopped play.[7] Following the conclusion of the group stage, the UAE, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Nepal had all reached the semi-finals of the tournament.[8] The first semi-final finished in a no result due to rain, with the UAE progressing to the tournament's final because of their superior net run rate in the group stage.[9] The second semi-final was also impacted by the weather, with Malaysia winning their reduced match against Hong Kong by 12 runs.[10] In the final, the UAE beat Malaysia by five wickets to win the tournament, with both teams qualifying for the 2022 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup.[11][12] The final was the last game to be played at the Kinrara Oval.[13]
