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 Lesotho women and other ICC members after 1 July 2018 have the full WT20I status.[5]

Lesotho's first WT20I matches were contested as part of the Botswana 7s tournament in August 2018 against Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Sierra Leone and Zambia (Zambia's matches were not classified as WT20Is as they had a Botswanan player in their squad).[6] Lesotho finished bottom of the table, losing all five group matches[7] and lose the fifth place play off against Malawi by a margin of nine wickets.[8]
