ICC Women's T20 World Cup: Squads, Schedule, When And Where To Watch And Everything You Need To Know

ICC Women’s T20 World Cup: Squads, Schedule, When and Where To Watch and Everything You Need To Know; The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is the biennial international championship for Women’s Twenty20 International cricket.

The event is organised by the cricket governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), with the first edition,  held in England in 2009.

For the first three tournaments, there were eight participants, but this number has risen to ten from the 2014 edition onwards. At each tournament, a set number of teams qualify automatically, with the remaining teams determined by the World Twenty20 Qualifier.

Australia stands as the most successful team, having won the tournament four times.

This year, for the first time in history, a women’s T20 World Cup will be held as a standalone tournament, with a mouth-watering contest between the Indian women’s cricket team and four-time winners Australia women in Sydney on February 21.

Including debutants Thailand, ten teams will compete in the seventh edition of ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. A total of 23 games will be played at six different venues in four Australian cities.

The teams have been divided into two groups with two top teams advancing to the knockouts.
