The Botswana women's cricket team toured Namibia in March–April 2019 to play a five-match Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) series. The venue for all of the matches was the United Ground in Windhoek. The tournament provided Namibia with some preparation for the 2019 ICC Women's Qualifier Africa. 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. Namibia won the series 5–0.
