List of Nepal women Twenty20 international records explained

This is a list of Nepal women's team Twenty20 International cricket records. It includes the records of team Nepal and player's individual performances in Twenty20 International cricket.

On 26 April 2018, ICC announced that all Twenty20 matches played between ICC members after the cut off date of 1 July 2018 would be awarded Twenty20 International status.^[1] Thus, Nepal women played their first Twenty20 International match against China women on 12 January 2019, and these records date from that match.^[2]

Listing criteria

In general the top five are listed in each category (except when there is a tie for the last place among the five, in which case, all the tied record holders are noted).

Any player in bold has played at least one match in the last or ongoing series/tournament.
