Spain Women in Croatia 2024/25

Women's T20I Mediterranean Cup is a regional cricket tournament designed for emerging national teams in Europe. The 2024 edition served as a standalone Twenty20 International series held in Zagreb, Croatia, during October. This event brought together Spain Women and Croatia Women for four matches, offering competitive fixtures outside the standard ICC qualification structures.

The competition operates as an informal development cup rather than part of the official tiered pathway to the World Cup. While the Mediterranean Cricket League (MCL) has existed since 2015/2016 as a men's tournament founded by the Croatian Cricket Federation, this women's counterpart appeared to be an inaugural fixture in 2024. Its primary purpose is to provide match opportunities for nations seeking to build experience and gain ranking points through regional play.

Croatia Women gained Twenty20 International status in April 2018, though their first official match did not take place until June 2024. Spain Women made their debut in May 2022. The 2024 series concluded with Spain Women winning all four encounters. By situating these matches separately from the official European qualifiers, the tournament highlights the distinction between formal international progression and informal regional cups used for player development and team cohesion.

The event underscores the growing interest in women's cricket across the Mediterranean region. With fewer official fixtures available to teams at this level, such regional gatherings allow players to test themselves against different styles and conditions. The format focuses on providing meaningful games rather than determining a continental champion, serving as a stepping stone for participants aiming to reach higher levels of international competition.
