ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: All you need to know, schedule, results, format, full squads, TV Timing, Live Streaming

The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 has got underway in the UAE with two matches on the opening day – original hosts Bangladesh women cricket team taking on Scotland followed by ACC Women’s Asia Cup 2024 champions Sri Lanka taking on Pakistan women cricket team on Thursday (October 3).
Teams like India, England and last-year’s finalists South Africa will look to end Australia’s complete dominance over this tournament in this year’s edition. The Australian women cricket team have won the last three editions of this tournament and overall they have won the T20 World Cup six time out of nine editions so far.
With veteran Meg Lanning announcing her retirement following the triumph in South Africa about 18 months ago, wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy has been handed captaincy to maintain Australia’s global supremacy. Healy would like to lead from the front but if she is not able to, she can rely on the squad full of match winners including Ellyse Perry, Ashleigh Gardner and Grace Harris.
England, who won the inaugural edition in 2009 before losing three finals to Australia, will take a lot of confidence from the series win against their main rival during the Women’s Ashes last year. The pitches in the UAE are expected to favour the slow bowlers, bringing England’s Sophie Ecclestone into play. She will be supported by Sarah Glenn and Charlie Dean.
Another team who always challenges Australia but has hitherto not able to cross the final hurdle is India. The Harmanpreet-Kaur led side has lost two big T20 finals to Australia — the 2022 Commonwealth Games and 2020 T20 World Cup.
India go into the event having not got a lot of game time following their surprising loss to Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2024 final. The team has worked extensively on its fitness and fielding, hoping it will make a big difference to its World Cup campaign.
The conditions could favour a spin-heavy India. In the batting department, the onus will be on openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana while Harmanpreet and Richa Ghosh will be expected to hit the sixes in the middle and death overs.
Harmanpreet, who has led the team since the 2018 T20 World Cup, will be under tremendous pressure this time around as another loss could bring an end to her captaincy tenure.
