About Cricket
Twenty20 cricket is on for the LA 2028 Olympics. It follows the return cricket made to the Commonwealth Games at Birmingham 2022, where a women’s Twenty20 competition was held. Australia won the inaugural gold medal, defeating India in the final by seven runs.
Prior to 2022, a men's 50-over cricket tournament was played at the Kuala Lumpur 1998 Commonwealth Games where South Africa won the gold and Australia got silver.
Australia currently has the highest ranked T20I women's side in the world, while the men's team is the fifth best T20I nation.
