The 2023 Capricorn Women's Quadrangular Series was a women's Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament that took place in Namibia from 24 April to 2 May 2023.[1] The tournament was played at the United Ground in Windhoek.[2] The participating teams were the women's national sides of Namibia, Hong Kong, Uganda and United Arab Emirates.[3] Uganda replaced United States who withdrew from the tournament.[4]
Uganda defeated the hosts in a low-scoring last game of the round-robin to join them in the final.[5] Uganda went on to defeat Namibia again in the final by 3 runs to win the tournament.[6] The victory secured Uganda's second title in two weeks after also having won the 2023 Victoria Series in April.[7]
