Croatia Women in Cyprus 2026/27

The Croatia Women tour of Cyprus constitutes a bilateral cricket series contested between the Croatia Women's national team and the Cyprus Women's national team. Recognized by the International Cricket Council (ICC) as Women’s T20 Internationals (WT20Is), these fixtures operate outside any domestic league structure. The Croatian Cricket Federation, an affiliate since 2001, and the Cyprus Cricket Federation, an associate since 1999, oversee the competition. Both organisations manage developing associate nations within the European cricket landscape.

The series functions as a developmental pathway for these emerging squads. While broader regional competition exists through the European Cricket Championship (ECC), which shifted to a T10 format in 2023, this specific bilateral arrangement offers focused engagement. Recent editions have highlighted the growing parity between the sides. A previous encounter in April 2024 saw Cyprus Women secure a four-match sweep, establishing a dominant head-to-head record at that stage.

The 2026 iteration of the series was scheduled for late April at the Happy Valley Ground 2 in Episkopi. Despite the intent to play four matches, the entire event was abandoned due to inclement weather. Consequently, the official head-to-head record remained unchanged from the previous meeting. This cancellation underscores the logistical challenges faced by smaller cricketing nations in Europe.

Both teams secured full WT20I status in June 2024 following their international debuts. Croatia Women opened their campaign against Gibraltar Women in Prague, while Cyprus Women defeated Estonia Women. These results marked a significant milestone for both federations, validating their progression within the ICC framework. The ongoing series provides essential match practice for players aiming to elevate their performance on the international stage. As associate members, the teams continue to build experience through regular bilateral contact rather than relying solely on continental tournaments.
