Women's World T20: Bangladesh 2024
The 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup, the ninth event, will be held in the United Arab Emirates, from 3 to 20 October 2024. Games will be played in Dubai and Sharjah.
The tournament was originally planned to be held in Bangladesh, but was changed at the last minute due to political turmoil in that country.
Although this is a biennial event, the last tournament was played in South Africa 2023 (delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic). Australia are the defending champions.
The tournament will feature ten teams, divided into two groups of five. Each team will play the others in their group in a round-robin format, ensuring every team had four matches in the group stage.
The groups are as follows:
- Group 1:Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka
- Group 2: Bangladesh, England, Scotland, South Africa, West Indies
The top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals. After the group stage, the semi-finals will be played between the top teams from each group, where the winner of Group 1 played the runner-up of Group 2 and vice versa. The winners of the semi-final matches then face each other in the final to compete for the championship.
In case of a tie or no-result in the knockout stages (semi-finals and final), a Super Over will determine the winner.
