ICC announces revised schedule for Women’s T20 World Cup 2024

ICC announced the revised fixtures for the Women’s T20 World Cup, which will be played in the UAE from October 3rd. With 23 matches to be played, Dubai and Sharjah have been picked as the two venues to be the epicenter of all the cricketing frenzy.

India will face Pakistan on October 6th as per the revised schedule, three days from the start of the tournament. The tournament will start with a clash between Bangladesh and Scotland while India will commence their tournament with a battle against New Zealand on October 4th.

The Women’s T20 World Cup, which originally slated to be played in Bangladesh, was shifted to UAE after security concerns being raised due to the current political scenario in the country.

Ten teams will be playing in 23 matches over a span of 18 days at two venues, namely the Dubai International Stadium and the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The 10 teams have been divided into two groups.

Group A includes heavyweights Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka while Group B has Bangladesh, England, South Africa, West Indies and Scotland. Each team will be playing four matches in the group stages across the two venues.

The two top teams from each group will be playing the semi-finals scheduled to be played on 17th October in Dubai and 18th October in Sharjah. A reserve day has been added to both the semis and the finals.
