This article aims to explore in detail the importance of Qatar women's national cricket team today and its influence on different aspects of daily life.
Qatar made its international debut at the 2009 ACC Women's Twenty20 Championship in Malaysia. The team won only a single match in the group stage, against Iran, and were eventually ranked eleventh after defeating Kuwait in the eleventh-place play-off. Qatar did not participate in the tournament's 2011 edition, despite it being hosted by nearby Kuwait, but returned for the 2013 tournament in Thailand. The team again only won a single group-stage match, against Kuwait, but this was enough to place them fourth in their group (out of six teams). Qatar were easily beaten in the seventh-place play-off, however, losing to Malaysia by 36 runs. In December 2014, Qatar competed in the inaugural edition of the Gulf Cricket Council (GCC) Women's Twenty20 Championship, which was also contested by Kuwait, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. The team placed last, but at the following year's tournament, which Qatar hosted, lost to the UAE 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 Qatar women and another international side after 1 July 2018 will be a full WT20I. Qatar played their first matches with WT20I status in January 2020 during a triangular series against Oman and Kuwait, which was held in Doha.
