Botswanan women's cricket team in Namibia in 2018–19

The Botswana women's cricket team toured Namibia in March–April 2019 to play a five-match Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) series.[1] The venue for all of the matches was the United Ground in Windhoek.[1] The tournament provided Namibia with some preparation for the 2019 ICC Women's Qualifier Africa.[1] Both matches due to be played on the first day of the series (31 March) were abandoned without a toss due to rain, and rescheduled for the reserve day (2 April), with the series listed in Cricinfo as a seven-match series.[2] Namibia won the series 5–0.
