The ninth edition of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, which was set to take place in Bangladesh in October 2024 and feature Australia as the defending champions will now be played in UAE. The tournament has been shifted out of the country because of the security situation there. More information is awaited.
Bangladesh will remain the ‘hosts’ but the tournament will now be played in UAE.
The tournament will have 10 teams separated into two groups as was the case in the previous edition as well. ‘Hosts’ Bangladesh and the top six ranked teams from the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa qualified directly, with the final 3 spots filled by Pakistan and two other teams from the global qualifying tournament.
The Women’s T20 World Cup promises excitement with new and experienced players.
Favourites include Australia, England with Alice Capsey, India with Shafali Verma and Renuka Singh Thakur, and New Zealand with Sophie Devine and Bernadine Bezuidenhout, aiming for improvement after failing to qualify for the semifinal.
