2023 Women's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier

The 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier was a cricket tournament that formed part of the qualification process for the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. The first stage of the tournament was Division Two, which featured eight teams and was held in Botswana in September 2023.[1]

Botswana and Kenya qualified for Division One, after reaching the final of the Division Two tournament.[2] Kenya defeated Botswana by 9 wickets in the final.[3][4]

The finalists in Division Two advanced to Division One,[5] which featured six seeded teams and was played in Uganda in December 2023.[6]

In Division One, Zimbabwe and Uganda reached the final and therefore qualified for the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier.[7] Zimbabwe defeated Uganda in the final.[8] Zimbabwe's Modester Mupachikwa and Precious Marange were the top run scorer and top wicket taker, respectively, in Division One.
