The Finland women's national cricket team represents the country of Finland in women's cricket matches.
In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Finland and any ICC members since 1 January 2019 have the full WT20I status.[2]
History
[edit]Sometime in 2012, Finland's women's team visited Estonia for a cricket trip against Estonian women. The venue for this cricket trip was Tallinn, Estonia. It was the first-ever international cricket tour for Finland women.[3]
In 2023, the Finland women's team hosted 2023 Nordic Women T20 Cup. The tournament also featured teams from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Estonia.[4] Finland came second in the tournament, although, their matches were not counted as T20 international matches.[citation needed]
