A Women's Twenty20 International is a 20 overs-per-side cricket match played in a maximum of 150 minutes between two of the top 10 ranked countries of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in terms of women's cricket.[1] The first women's Twenty20 International match was held in August 2004 between England and New Zealand,[2] six months before the first Twenty20 International match was played between two men's teams.[3] A Twenty20 International can have three possible results: it can be won by one of the two teams, it could be tied, or it could be declared to have "no result".[4] For a match to finish as a tie, both teams must have scored the same number of runs. The number of wickets lost is not considered.[4] Although such matches are recorded as ties, a tiebreak is played; prior to December 2008, this was a bowl-out, and since then it has been a Super Over.[5]
The first tied women's T20I occurred on 18 October 2006, between New Zealand and the Australia, hosted at Allan Border Field in Brisbane.[6] Australia won the resulting bowl-out, and were awarded two points, the equivalent of a win. This was also the only women's T20I match which has been decided by bowl-out. The next tie, involving England and Australia, happened during the group stages of the 2010 ICC Women's World Twenty20. This was the first instance of Super Over in a women's international. Both Australia and England scored 6 runs in their extra over. However, as Australia has hit more sixes (1, compared to England's 0), they have declared winner of the match.[7]
On 4 September 2019, a T20I between Nigeria and Rwanda was ended in a tie. However, Nigeria team refused to play super-over and Rwanda was declared winner of the match.
As of 30 December 2023 there have been 16 tied women's Twenty20 Internationals.[8] West Indies have played in the most, six, and on three of those instances they were facing Pakistan.[8] Only one tie has occurred during ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournaments.[7]
