The Chile women's cricket team toured Argentina in October 2023 to play three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. All three matches were held at the St Albans Club Ground in Buenos Aires, and Argentina won the series 3–0.[1]
In the first match, Argentina scored 427/1 in the first innings and dismissed Chile for 63. In doing so, Argentina broke a number of records in all T20I cricket, including the highest score and the biggest winning margin in terms of runs (364).[2] Argentina's Lucia Taylor made the highest ever score (169) and together with Albertina Galan had the biggest ever partnership by runs (350). The match was also unusual in that not a single six was scored.[3]
In the second match, Argentina made 300/6 and Chile replied with 19, with eight of the Chilean players scoring ducks.[4] The third match saw Argentina making 333/1 and Chile 22, of which 21 were extras; again, eight Chilean players scored ducks. Maria Castiñeiras of Argentina became the first woman to score back-to-back T20I centuries,[5] and she also put on an unbeaten record second-wicket partnership of 290 runs alongside Veronica Vasquez.[6]
