The Namibia women's national cricket team represents the country of Namibia in international women's cricket. The team is organised by the Namibia Cricket Board, which has been a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 1992.
Namibia made its international debut at the 2004 Africa Women's Cricket Tournament in Tanzania, but failed to win a match.[1] The team's closest result came in the opening match against Kenya, where they were bowled out for 106, and eventually lost by five wickets.[2] In the second game, against Uganda, they lost by 152 runs,[3] while in the final game, against Tanzania, they were bowled out for just 29, and lost by ten wickets.[4] After their debut, Namibia did not compete in another Africa-wide tournament until the 2011 ICC Africa Women's T20 Tournament in Uganda. They have since regularly competed in ICC Africa competitions, without much success.[1] Namibia also play in regional competitions against other southern African teams, and in the past have appeared in South African provincial competitions (as the national men's team does).[5]
