The 2023 Victoria Series was a women's Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament that took place in Uganda in April 2023, the second edition of the Victoria Series.[1] Zimbabwe had won the first edition in 2019,[2] but they did not defend the title in this edition due to other commitments.[3] The venue for all of the matches was the Lugogo Stadium in Kampala.[4] The five-team tournament was contested by hosts Uganda, as well as Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and United Arab Emirates.[5] The tournament provided all teams with preparation for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier.[6]
After Kenya's last match in the round-robin stage, the team's captain Sharon Juma announced her retirement from international cricket.[7]
Uganda's 3-run win over Tanzania confirmed their place in the final with a game to spare.[8] After the final was abandoned due to rain, Uganda were declared the champions due to having finished top of the round-robin stage.[9][10] Henriette Ishimwe of Rwanda was named player of the tournament.[11]
