Romania Cricket is all set to host the inaugural edition of the Women’s Continental Cup starting on August 27, Saturday. The four-match T20I series will be played between Romania Women and Malta Women.
After successfully hosting the Men's Continental Cup in 2021, which Romania won, Romania Cricket has decided to conduct a similar tournament for women's teams as well.
In April 2018, both Romania Cricket and Malta Cricket Association received full men’s and women's T20I status.
With the two exciting sides not getting to play a lot of cricket of late, we can expect a tight contest. Interestingly, both teams have some match-winning all-rounders in their ranks. Romania being the hosts will have better knowledge of the home conditions, but Malta would be keen to turn the tables.
Andreea-Costinela Vasilescu will lead Romania, while Shamla Cholasseri will be captaining Malta in the T20I series. All matches four matches will be played at the Moara Vlasiei Ground in Ilfov County.
