History edit
In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Mali and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 have the T20I status.[5]
Mali made their T20I debut at the 2022–23 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier. Playing in the Qualifier A group, they failed to win any matches. Out of their 7 matches, they lost 5, with the other two ending with no-result.
