 "Women’s T20 World Cup points table updated: Full list of matches and results after New Zealand beat South Africa to win title")
The ninth edition of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup gets underway on Thursday, 3 October with ‘hosts’ Bangladesh taking on Scotland in the tournament opener in Sharjah on Thursday. The tournament was originally supposed to have taken place in Bangladesh but was moved to the United Arab Emirates in a last-minute decision by the ICC due to unrest in the South Asian nation following violent protests that led to the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government getting overthrown.
All the matches in the ninth edition of the tournament will take place in October with the final taking place on the 20th of this month.
Australia have won a record six of the eight editions of the tournament that have taken place to date and will be strong favourites to add to their title count later this month.
Team India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur for the third consecutive edition, will also have their sights set on winning their first major global title after finishing runners-up in 2020 in Australia as well as in the 2017 ODI World Cup in England.
Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 Format
The 10 teams taking part in the competition have been divided into two groups of five teams each. Group A comprises defending champions Australia as well as former finalists India (2020) and New Zealand (2009, 2010) along with Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
