In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Mozambique women and other ICC members since 1 July 2018 have the full WT20I status.[5]
Mozambique's first WT20I matches were contested as part of the Botswana 7s tournament in August 2018 against Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Sierra Leone and Zambia (Zambia's matches were not classified as WT20Is as they had a Botswanan player in their squad).[6] Mozambique finished fourth on the table with two wins and three losses[7] and lost the third place play off against Botswana by a margin of nine wickets.[8]
In November 2019, Mozambique Women's team participated in T20 Kwacha Cup which was a 7-match bilateral T20I series against Malawi. All the 7 matches were played at Saint Andrews International High School in Blantyre, Malawi. Mozambique women lost the series by 3-4.
In December 2020, the ICC announced the qualification pathway for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.[9] Mozambique were named in the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier regional group, alongside ten other teams.[10]
