# Malaysia women's national cricket team

The Malaysian women's national cricket team is the team that represents the country of Malaysia in international women's cricket matches. The team made its debut against Singapore on 30 April 2006, winning by 58 runs. In August 2017, Malaysia won the bronze medal in the women's tournament at the 2017 Southeast Asian Games.
In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Malaysia women and another international side since 1 July 2018 have the full WT20I status. In June 2018, Malaysia played its first Women's T20I against India in the 2018 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup.
In December 2020, the ICC announced the qualification pathway for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. Malaysia were named in the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier regional group, alongside seven other teams. In April 2021, the Malaysian Cricket Association awarded contracts to 15 players, the first time female cricketers for the Malaysian team had been granted contracts.
