The 2022 Nigeria Invitational Women's T20I Tournament was a women's T20I cricket (WT20I) tournament that was held in Nigeria from 28 March to 3 April 2022.[1][2] The venue for all of the matches was the Tafawa Balewa Square Cricket Oval in Lagos.[3] Along with the hosts Nigeria, the tournament featured the national teams of Gambia, Ghana, Rwanda and Sierra Leone.[4] Cameroon were also originally scheduled to take part.[5]
Nigeria were the defending champions, having won the inaugural edition in 2019.[6] As the two highest ranked sides in the tournament, Nigeria and Rwanda were seeded in the draw.[7] Originally, Nigeria were placed in group A with Ghana and Gambia, while Rwanda were placed in group B with Sierra Leone and Cameroon.[8] However, Cameroon withdrew from the tournament and the format was changed to a round-robin followed by a third-place play-off and a final.[9]
Nigeria beat Rwanda by three runs to finish top of the round-robin stage after both sides had won their first three matches.[10] However, the following day, the Rwandans defeated Nigeria by 53 runs in the final to win the tournament.[11]
