The 2019–20 Women's Senior T20 Challenger Trophy was the third edition of India's Women's T20 Challenger Trophy. Three teams made up of the best players in India competed in a double round-robin group, with the top two advancing to the final. The three teams competing were renamed from the previous two tournaments: India Blue, Green and Red became India A, B and C, with India C beating India B in the final by 8 wickets to win the tournament. All matches were held at the Barabati Stadium, Cuttack across a week in January 2020.[1][2]

Competition format

The three teams played in a double round-robin group, playing each other team twice, with the top two advancing to the final. Matches were played using a Twenty20 format.

Win: 4 points.
Tie: 2 points.
