The 2020 Women's Super Series was the sixth Women's Super Series competition that took place in Ireland. The tournament was originally scheduled to take place in May and June with 3 teams taking part, but was delayed and restructured due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament eventually took place in August and September, with two teams taking part (Scorchers and Typhoons, with Dragons leaving the competition) and eight 50 over matches taking place.[1] Typhoons won the tournament, achieving their first Super Series title.[2]
Competition format
The two teams played eight 50 over matches against each other in a league system.[1][2]
The league worked on a points system with positions being based on the total points. Points were awarded as follows:
Win: 2 points.
Tie: 1 point.
Loss: 0 points.
Abandoned/No Result: 1 point.
