Anjali Chand (Nepali: अञ्जली चन्द, born 16 September 1995) is a Nepali cricketer who plays for the Nepali national women's team.[1] She has scored a century in a domestic national tournament, becoming the third Nepali woman to score a century. She played in the 2014 Asian Games as a batswoman for Nepal.

In November 2019, she was named in Nepal's squad for the women's tournament at the 2019 South Asian Games.[2] She made her Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut for Nepal, against the Maldives, on 2 December 2019 in the opening match of the tournament.[3][4] In the match, she took six wickets for no runs from thirteen deliveries, recording the best bowling figures in a WT20I match.[5] The record stood in place until Frederique Overdijk broke it in August 2021. She also took a hat-trick from her last three deliveries.[6][7]
