The 2023 Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy was the fourth edition of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, an English women's cricket 50-over domestic competition, which took place between 22 April and 24 September 2023. It featured eight teams playing in a double round-robin group stage, followed by a knock-out round. It ran alongside the Charlotte Edwards Cup. Northern Diamonds were the defending champions.[1]

Southern Vipers won the tournament, their third Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy title, beating The Blaze in the final.[2]

Format

[edit]

Teams played each other twice in a group of eight, with the top three qualifying for the knock-out stage. This represented a doubling of group stage matches from the previous season, which saw teams play each other once.[3] The second-placed team in the group played the third-placed team in a play-off, with the winner advancing to play the first-placed team in the final. The final was held at the County Ground, Northampton.[4]

Teams

[edit]

The teams that competed in the tournament are listed below.[5] The Blaze changed their name prior to the 2023 season, having previously been known as Lightning.[6]

Standings

[edit]

Teams received 4 points for a win. A bonus point was given where the winning team's run rate was 1.25 or greater times that of the opposition. In case of a tie in the standings, the following tiebreakers were applied in order: highest net run rate, team that scored the most points in matches involving the tied parties, better bowling strike rate, drawing of lots.
