The Germany women's cricket team toured Austria in August 2020 to play a five-match bilateral Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) series.[1][2] The matches were played at the Seebarn Cricket Ground in the Seebarn subdivision of Harmannsdorf, Lower Austria.[1]

The series was the first women's international cricket to be played since the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Final on 8 March 2020,[3] following widespread disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] Austria had last played a match in a quadrangular series in France in August 2019,[5] and Germany had last played an international match during their visit to Oman in February 2020.[6]

Germany won the series 5–0, breaking a number of records along the way.[7][8] In match two of the series, the unbeaten opening partnership of 191 between Christina Gough and Janet Ronalds meant that Germany set a WT20I record for the most runs scored in an innings without losing a wicket.[7] The same pair broke this record again in match four, with Germany's innings finishing on 198/0, before German captain Anuradha Doddaballapur became the first player to take four wickets in consecutive deliveries in WT20I cricket.[7]
