In April 2018, the ICC granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between the Cayman Islands women and another international side after 1 July 2018 will be a full WT20I.[1]

History

Women's cricket in the Cayman Islands was formally revived in 2009, after several years without organised competition.[2] The national team has only participated in one international tournament, which they hosted – the 2012 ICC Americas Women's Twenty20 Championship.[3] At the event, the team lost its first three matches by heavy margins, losing to the United States by 68 runs,[4] Argentina by eight wickets,[5] and Canada by 106 runs.[6] However, the Caymans won their fourth game easily, defeating Brazil by seven wickets in a match that was reduced to 13 overs per side.[7] The team's final match of the tournament, against Bermuda, was washed out,[8] with the Cayman Islands consequently placing fourth on the points table (out of six teams).[9]
