List of South Africa women cricket series
Since playing their first international cricket match in December 1960, the South Africa national women's cricket team have contested a number of cricket series against other nations, in all three forms of the game: Test, One Day International and Twenty20 International cricket. A cricket series can consist of any number of individual matches, but typically includes between one and five matches.
The first international cricket match involving South Africa women was a Test match held at St George's Park, Port Elizabeth, the same venue as the one for first men's Test match in the country in 1889,[1] and ended in a draw.[2] South Africa then played a subsequent series against New Zealand in 1971–72.[3] As part of the international campaign against apartheid, the Commonwealth of Nations signed the Gleneagles Agreement in 1977, excluding South Africa from competing in international sporting events.[4] Because of this exclusion, they did not play another Test until hosting India in 2001–02, before facing England again in 2003 and most recently the Netherlands in 2007.[3]
