The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced the updated fixtures for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, which will be hosted in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Originally set to take place in Bangladesh, the tournament will now be held across the Dubai and Sharjah stadiums from October 3rd to 20th.
The tournament will feature two groups. In Group A, six-time champion Australia will compete against 2020 runners-up India, Trans-Tasman rival New Zealand, and Asian teams Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Group B will include South Africa, England, 2016 champions West Indies, Bangladesh, and Scotland.
Sri Lanka and Scotland secured their spots in the tournament through the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier held in Abu Dhabi earlier this year.
Each team will play four group-stage matches, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the semi-finals on October 17 and 18. The final will take place in Dubai on October 20, with reserve days allocated for both the semi-finals and the final.
India, if they progress to the semi-finals, will feature in Semi-final 1. The tournament will consist of 23 matches across the two venues in Dubai and Sharjah.
In addition to the main tournament, there will be 10 warm-up matches held from September 28 to October 1.
