South Africa Women vs West Indies Women: Complete Match Chronology {Timeline}

Tracing the full south africa women’s national cricket team vs west indies women timeline match by match reveals a rivalry that went from one-sided to genuinely competitive within a decade.

West Indies Dominant Era (2004–2019)

West Indies won the first ODI series 2–1 in 2004/05 on South African soil- establishing early supremacy in the 50-over format. The first T20I series followed in 2009/10, also won by West Indies 3–0, giving them a clean sweep across both bilateral formats. In ICC tournament cricket, West Indies beat South Africa in four consecutive Women’s T20 World Cups– 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2019. The 2018 meeting was particularly one-sided: South Africa were bowled out for 76 in 18.4 overs in the West Indies, a performance that illustrated the gap between these sides in pressure-tournament conditions at that point. The ICC Women’s Championship ODI series in 2014- played in the Caribbean- also went 2–0 to West Indies, with Dane van Niekerk showing early signs of match-winning quality from the South African side despite the series loss.

The Turning Point: ICC Women’s Championship 2017

South Africa won their first ODI series against West Indies in 2017, taking the ICC Women’s Championship home series 2–1. The series win was not just bilateral- it fed directly into World Cup qualification points. On July 2, 2017 at Grace Road, Leicester, South Africa beat West Indies by 10 wickets in the ICC Women’s World Cup group stage. This remains one of the most complete team performances South Africa Women have produced in any ICC tournament fixture.

Format Split Analysis: ODI vs T20I Performance

The structure of the south africa women’s national cricket team vs west indies women timeline separates clearly by format- and the split reflects how each team is built.

South Africa in ODIs (since 2017): Won 3 of 4 series. SA’s ODI bowling- Nonkululeko Mlaba’s off-spin, Ayabonga Khaka’s pace, and Dane van Niekerk’s wrist spin– applies sustained pressure across 50 overs that West Indies batting has struggled to absorb. South Africa have won 5 of their last 7 completed ODIs against West Indies.

West Indies in T20Is: The Caribbean home conditions at Three Ws Oval, Barbados, favour powerplay aggression. Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin carry the capacity to reframe a T20I chase within a single powerplay. The 2025 T20I series showed West Indies are harder to close out in the 20-over format when conditions and crowd support align.

The format record since 2022: ODIs- SA 5 wins, WI 2 wins. T20Is- SA 5 wins, WI 4 wins before the 2025 series. The all-time deficit is shrinking in both formats.
