The 2022 Women's East Asia Cup was a Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) cricket tournament held in Kaizuka, Osaka, Japan from 27 to 30 October 2022.[2] This was the fourth edition of the women's East Asia Cup, and was originally scheduled to involve the same teams as in all previous editions, namely China, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea.[3] China and South Korea both withdrew from this year's tournament, and so Japan and Hong Kong played a four-match series to determine the winner.[4] The four member countries signed an agreement in 2021 to make the women's East Asia Cup an annual event,[5] but the 2021 event (which would have been played in Hong Kong) was cancelled due to COVID-19.[6] China won the previous tournament in 2019.[7]

Hong Kong were comfortable winners by 8 wickets in the first game.[8] The second game ended with the same result, with Hong Kong's Mariko Hill scoring an unbeaten 51.[9] Hong Kong took an unassailable lead in the series by winning the third game, helped by an unbeaten 86 from Natasha Miles.[10] [11] An improved performance by the hosts saw Japan fall short by just 3 runs, with Akari Kano scoring an unbeaten half-century.[12] The last match of the series ended in a tie, with Hong Kong winning in the Super Over to take the series 4–0.[13]
