Zimbabwe Cricket Women's T20 Cup 2021/22

The Zimbabwe Cricket Women's T20 Cup is the premier domestic Twenty20 cricket competition for women in Zimbabwe. Organised by Zimbabwe Cricket, it operates as the top-tier T20 tournament within the national structure. The competition runs concurrently with the Fifty50 Challenge, which is the List A format.

Provincial franchises form the core of the tournament. The primary participants include Mountaineers Women, Tuskers Women, Eagles Women, and Rhinos Women. In recent iterations, the Zimbabwe Women Under-19 team has also entered the league stage, although they may be ineligible for the knockout stages in some formats. The competition functions as a closed system, meaning there is no promotion or relegation between divisions.

The structure typically begins with a round-robin league stage, followed by knockout semi-finals and a final. The tournament was established in the 2020–21 season, with the 2021–22 edition being the first widely documented in major cricket databases. It serves as a key development platform for players ahead of international fixtures.

Recent champions highlight the competitive balance. Tuskers Women claimed the title in 2024 after defeating the Zimbabwe Women Under-19s in the final. Mountaineers Women won the 2022–23 season, while Eagles Women secured victory in the 2021–22 campaign by defeating Mountaineers Women in the final. Specific winners for the 2020–21 and 2023 seasons are not clearly documented in available public records. Gaps in continuity for these years are likely due to administrative or financial issues within Zimbabwe Cricket.

The cup provides vital game time for developing cricketers. Teams compete for regional pride and player progression. The knockout stages offer high-stakes matches for those advancing from the group phase.
