The tenth edition of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup has officially begun across England and Wales, ushering in a new chapter in the history of women's cricket. Running from June 12 to July 5, 2026, this landmark tournament is the largest ever, featuring 12 teams competing in 33 matches for the coveted title.
For the first time, the competition has expanded to include two groups of six teams each, intensifying the stakes from the outset. Only the top two teams from each group will progress to the semi-finals, making every match crucial. Group 1 includes heavyweights Australia, India, and South Africa, alongside Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the Netherlands. Group 2 features hosts England and defending champions New Zealand, who are joined by the West Indies, Sri Lanka, Ireland, and Scotland.
The tournament has already delivered thrilling action in its opening matches. England made an emphatic start in front of a home crowd at Edgbaston, defeating Sri Lanka by 87 runs. The win was powered by a standout performance from Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who earned Player of the Match honours with a commanding display.
In another high-profile clash, India registered a convincing 64-run victory over arch-rivals Pakistan. Deepti Sharma starred with the ball, producing a match-winning spell that set the tone for India's campaign. Meanwhile, Scotland created history by securing their first-ever Women's T20 World Cup win, beating Ireland by 40 runs. Captain Kathryn Bryce led from the front with a composed and clinical performance.
Matches are being played across some of the United Kingdom's most iconic cricket venues, including Headingley, Old Trafford, and Trent Bridge, adding to the spectacle of the tournament. The semi-finals are scheduled to take place at The Oval on June 30 and July 2, while the grand final will be held at Lord's on July 5.
