Jersey women's cricket team

The Jersey women's cricket team is the team that represents the Crown dependency of Jersey in international women's cricket matches. They became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2005, and an associate member in 2007.

History
In 2012, Jersey won the European Women's Cricket Festival hosted in Utrecht, defeating Germany in the final.

In April 2018, the ICC granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Jersey women and other ICC members after 1 July 2018 have the full WT20I status.

Jersey played their first WT20I on 31 May 2019, losing to neighbours Guernsey by seven wickets in the 2019 T20 Inter-Insular Cup at College Field, Saint Peter Port.

They got their first WT20I win later that year when they defeated Norway by seven wickets on 1 August on day two of the 2019 France Women's T20I Quadrangular Series held in Nantes. With four victories and two defeats, Jersey finished second behind hosts France in the tournament which also included Austria. Jersey's squad at the event featured several players still at school including Nia Greig who, aged just 11 years and 40 days, became the youngest-ever international cricketer when she played in the islanders' opening match against the French.

Trinity Smith scored the first WT20I half-century for Jersey on 6 May 2022, hitting 59 not out off 43 balls against Spain at the 2022 France Women's T20I Quadrangular Series. Unbeaten throughout, Jersey won the tournament in Dreux which also included France and Austria.

The following month, Jersey won the newly-expanded Women's T20I Inter-Insular Cup winning all three matches at home against Guernsey.

In January 2023, it was announced that Jersey had been chosen to host the inaugural 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier division two tournament to be staged in May and June.

At the event, the islanders finished third out of six teams to narrowly miss out on progressing to the next stage of qualification. During the competition, Chloe Greechan became the first Jersey woman to take a five-wicket haul in WT20Is when she bagged 5/4 in a 108-run win against Sweden on 2 June 2023.

Later that month, Jersey played Guernsey in the 2023 edition of the Women's T20I Inter-Insular Cup at King George V Sports Ground in Castel. For the second successive year they swept the contest 3-0 with the highlight being the third match where they scored their highest total in a WT20I to date - 196/3 - before dismissing the hosts for 39 to win by 157 runs which was a new record for their biggest winning margin.

Jersey retained the WT20I Inter-insular Cup for a third year in a row in 2024, winning a one-off match at Grainville Cricket Ground in St Saviour by 104 runs. Put into bat, the islanders' scored 157 all out with Charlie Miles making 68 off 42 balls, before they dismissed Guernsey for just 53 as Sophia Hanson took 3/7.
