Australia Women in West Indies (WI) 2026/27

The bilateral series between Australia Women and West Indies Women is a regular fixture in international cricket, featuring matches played across One Day International and Twenty20 International formats. These contests are not part of a single permanent tournament but are arranged as part of the global cricket calendar.

Australia Women hold a dominant position in this rivalry. They have won every cycle of the ICC Women’s Championship, establishing themselves as the leading force in long-form cricket. Their success extends to major events, including victories in the 2013 ODI World Cup Final and the 2022 ODI World Cup Semi-Final. A recent tour in October 2023 saw Australia secure both the ODI and T20I series against the hosts.

The West Indies Women’s team draws from a domestic structure managed by Cricket West Indies. The top-tier competitions include the Women’s T20 Blaze, founded in 2012, and the Women’s Super50 Cup. Both leagues feature six regional teams: Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Trinidad & Tobago, and Windward Islands. The T20 Blaze utilizes a round-robin group stage followed by a final, while the Super50 Cup traditionally employs a round-robin format with playoffs. Jamaica claimed the T20 Blaze title in 2024.

In contrast, Australia’s domestic setup is divided into two parallel championships. The Women’s National Cricket League (WNCL) serves as the premier 50-over competition. Founded in the 1996–97 season, it features seven state-based teams playing a double round-robin format that culminates in a final for the Ruth Preddy Cup. The New South Wales Breakers are the current champions of this competition.

The other Australian domestic competition is the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL). Launched in the 2015–16 season, it comprises eight city-based franchises. The league operates with a double round-robin stage followed by a finals series. The Melbourne Renegades hold the most recent title from the 2024–25 season.
