# 2018 Botswana Cricket Association Women's T20I Series

The 2018 Botswana Cricket Association Women's T20I Series was a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament held in Gaborone, Botswana from 20 to 25 August 2018. The participants were the women's national sides of Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia and Sierra Leone. Matches were recognised as official T20I games as per ICC's announcement that full T20I status would apply to all official matches played between women's teams of associate members after 1 July 2018. Zambia also took part in the tournament but their matches did not have T20I status due to their squad including a non-eligible player, and their results are not included in the available coverage. The matches were played at two grounds at the Botswana Cricket Association Oval in Gaborone. Namibia won the tournament after winning all of their matches, including a victory over Sierra Leone in the final.
