A cricket tournament was held at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, during July and August 2022.[1] It was cricket's first inclusion in the Commonwealth Games since a List A men's tournament was held at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[2] The matches were played as Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is), with only a women's tournament being part of the Games.[3][4]
Australia became the first team to qualify for the semi-finals, after winning their first two matches in Group A.[5] New Zealand's win over Sri Lanka in the second round of matches ensured their own and England's progression to the semi-finals.[6] India completed the semi-final line-up, beating Barbados in their final group match.[7] India won the first semi-final, beating England by 4 runs.[8] Australia won the second semi-final, beating New Zealand by 5 wickets.[9]
New Zealand claimed the bronze medal after beating England by 8 wickets in the Bronze Medal Match.[10] Australia claimed the gold medal, with India taking silver, after winning the Gold Medal Match by 9 runs.[11] Australian batter Beth Mooney was the leading run-scorer in the tournament, with 179 runs, whilst India's Renuka Singh was the leading wicket-taker, with 11 wickets.[12][13]
