Team USA 2026: Recent Match Results
The first five months of 2026 saw the US team traveling to Asia and Africa, playing high-stakes T20 international cricket. Here is a quick breakdown of how the team performed in their recent tournaments:
1. ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier (Jan – Feb 2026)
Played in Nepal, this tournament saw the USA face off against some of the toughest associate nations.
- The Highlights: USA started strong with a warm-up win against Scotland by 4 wickets and a clinical 6-wicket victory over the hosts, Nepal.
- Key Matches: In the main group stage, the USA pulled off a thriller against Namibia, winning by 4 wickets with just 4 balls to spare. They also dominated Papua New Guinea (PNG), winning a close game by 5 wickets. However, heavyweights like Bangladesh and Ireland managed to edge past the US side.
2. ICC Women’s T20I Challenge Trophy (April – May 2026)
Right after the qualifiers, the team flew to Rwanda for the Challenge Trophy at the Gahanga Cricket Stadium. This tournament turned out to be a massive success for US cricket’s confidence.
- The Dominance: The USA completely dominated Italy and Vanuatu, beating them twice with massive margins (including a huge 72-run win over Italy and a 9-wicket victory in the reverse fixture).
- The Rivalry: The matches against Rwanda were absolute nail-biters. USA lost a heartbreaker by just 1 run in their second game, and their final match on May 1st was unfortunately washed out due to rain after the USA scored 62/4.

Key Takeaways: Players In Golden Form
If you are following US Women’s cricket right now, these are the three names you need to remember:
- Isani Vaghela: An absolute match-winner. She picked up three ‘Player of the Match’ awards in a row during the Rwanda tour, dismantling both Italy and Vanuatu with her lethal bowling and clutch temperament.
- Chetna Reddy Pagydyala: The backbone of the batting lineup. Her steady knocks at the top against Nepal and Vanuatu have provided the team with solid platforms.
- Aditiba Chudasama (Captain): Leading a young squad on two major back-to-back international tours is no joke. Her tactical captaincy, especially in low-scoring thrillers against PNG and Namibia, shows America’s leadership is in safe hands.
What’s Next for USA Women’s Cricket?
With the first half of 2026 focused on international qualifiers, the team will now shift focus toward domestic selection camps, regional combines, and bilateral series later in the year. USA Cricket is expected to announce the home summer schedule soon, where the women’s team will likely host associate nations for T20I series.
