History

Perspective
The PCB Triangular Twenty20 Women's Tournament was established in 2019–20, effectively replacing the Departmental T20 Women's Championship. Three teams, PCB Blasters, PCB Challengers and PCB Dynamites, made up of the best players from across Pakistan, competed in a round-robin group across a week in January 2020 at the National Stadium, Karachi.[1] PCB Challengers won the tournament, beating PCB Blasters by 6 wickets in the final, helped by an unbeaten half-century from captain Bismah Maroof.[2]
In 2020–21 the tournament took place behind closed doors (due to the COVID-19 pandemic) at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in November and December 2020.[3] PCB Challengers again won the competition, beating PCB Dynamites in the final by 7 runs.[4][5]
In 2022–23 the tournament expanded to four teams, with the addition of PCB Strikers, who formed ahead of the 2021–22 Pakistan Women's One Day Cup. The tournament was preceded by a "first phase", with three teams, PCB Conquerors, PCB Invincibles and PCB Stars, made up of Under-19 and emerging players (with the tournament taking place at the same time as the national side's series against Ireland). The first phase tournament was won by PCB Stars. The second phase of the tournament took place from 1 to 9 December 2022.[6][7] In the second phase competition, PCB Blasters and PCB Dynamites qualified for the final, with PCB Blasters emerging victorious by 7 runs.[8]
