Perspective
In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all of its members.[4] Therefore, all Twenty20 (T20) matches played between Gibraltar and other ICC members since 1 July 2018 have been eligible for full official international status.[5]
Gibraltar played their first Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) during a three-match home series against Estonia on 20 April 2024, winning by 100 runs. The following day the sides met for two more games at Europa Sports Park with Gibraltar emerging victorious by 128 runs in the first match and 88 runs in the second to complete a 3-0 sweep.[6][7] During match two of the series, captain and opening batter, Amy Benatar, registered the first WT20I half-century by a Gibraltar player scoring 68 not out off 74 balls.[8][7] That match was also notable as it featured Sally Barton whose appearance as Gibraltar's wicketkeeper made her the oldest person to play international cricket aged 66 years and 334 days.[9][10]
In June 2024, the team won the Women's Central Europe Cup at the Vinoř Cricket Ground in Prague, Czech Republic, winning three of their four matches to take the title on net run-rate ahead of Croatia with the hosts Czech Republic in third.[11][12][13][14]
