Women’s Cricket Daily – 8 May 2026

Welcome to today’s women’s international cricket update featuring overnight results, today’s matches, breaking news and a look back through history.

News in brief

• Wins for both Malaysia and Hong Kong in the The Hong Kong Tri-Series in Mong Kok to get the series underway. Hong Kong started with a strong win, while Malaysia had a win and a loss. China looked very good in the field (three runouts) and with the ball, but struggled with the bat. Scores below, while action continues later today. You can watch it on Cricket Hong Kong’s YouTube channel.
• Noteworthy: Malaysia’s 15 year-old Nurin Imanina took 4-17 in her T20 International debut against China. She won Player of the Match – great start to a career!
• The New Zealand tour of England gets underway on Saturday. Keep ahead of the game by checking out the schedule for the rest of the month. (You can even take a sneaky peak into future months.)
