The 2023 Charlotte Edwards Cup was the third edition of the Charlotte Edwards Cup, an English women's cricket Twenty20 domestic competition, which took place between 18 May and 11 June 2023. It featured eight teams playing in a round-robin group stage, followed by a Finals Day. It ran alongside the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, as well as featuring double-header matches with the men's T20 Blast. Southern Vipers, who were the defending champions, won the tournament, beating The Blaze in the final.[1]

Format

[edit]

Teams played each other once in a group of eight, with the top three qualifying for the knock-out stage. This represented an addition of one match per team from the previous season, which saw teams divided into two groups of four.[2] The top three teams in the group advanced to Finals Day, which was played at New Road, Worcester, with the top-placed team advancing directly to the final and the other two teams playing in the semi-final. 20 group stage matches were played as double-headers with matches from the men's T20 Blast.[3]

Teams

[edit]

The teams were as listed below.[4] The Blaze changed their name prior to the 2023 season, having previously been known as Lightning.[5]

Standings

[edit]

Teams received 4 points for a win. A bonus point was given where the winning team's run rate is 1.25 or greater times that of the opposition. In case of a tie in the standings, the following tiebreakers were applied in order: highest net run rate, team that scored the most points in matches involving the tied parties, better bowling strike rate, drawing of lots.
