After change of venue due to tensions in Bangladesh, the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday announced the revised schedule for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup taking place from October 3 to 20, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The decision to move the tournament from Bangladesh to the UAE was taken by the ICC Board in the recent meeting held on August 20.

Ten teams will play 23 matches, over 18 action-packed days, at two venues in the UAE, the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, as the world’s best battle it out for the ultimate prize in T20 cricket.




Group A includes six-time champions Australia, along with India, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, while Group B comprises Bangladesh, England, South Africa, West Indies, and Scotland. Each team will compete in four group matches, scheduled across the two venues. Both venues will have the added excitement of hosting three double-header matchdays each.

Defending champions and the most successful team in T20 World Cup history, Australia, will start their campaign on 5 October in Sharjah against Sri Lanka, while the highly anticipated fixture between India and Pakistan will take place in Dubai on 6 October.
