1 month ago | 5 Views
The Women's T20 World Cup is right around the corner. The ninth edition of the tournament will be hosted in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Bangladesh face Scotland in Sharjah at 3.30pm IST after which Pakistan play Sri Lanka at the same venue at 7.30pm IST on October 3 to kick off the proceedings. India will face New Zealand on Friday in Dubai at 7.30pm IST right after 2016 champions West Indies play South Africa at the same venue.
Australia are the defending champions, having won the last three tournaments on the trot. In fact, Australia have been the champions all but twice in the history of the tournament, with England winning the inaugural edition in 2009 and West Indies winning in 2016. They are now looking to win their seventh title and face Sri Lanka in their opening match of the tournament on Saturday at 3.30pm IST in Sharjah.
India, meanwhile, have reached the final just once - in 2020 when they lost to Australia by 85 runs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The men's team dramatically won the T20 World Cup earlier this year and captain Harmanpreet Kaur has said that the women are taking inspiration from the achievements of their male counterparts.
Format and Groups
The 10 teams have been divided into two groups. Each team will play four matches and the top two teams from each group will qualify for the semifinals which are scheduled for October 17 and 18. The final will be in Dubai on October 20.
Group A: Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka
