2017 Women’s East Asia Cup

In September 2017 Japan travelled to Hong Kong for the second edition of the Women’s East Asia Cup. They were coached by Natalie Schilov and captained by Mai Yanagida on a tour where three players travelled overseas with the team for the first time.

Japan recorded victories over China and South Korea to qualify for their first ever East Asia Cup Final, but Hong Kong proved too good in the end. Mai Yanagida finished as player of the tournament while Etsuko Kobayashi won the award for best bowler.
