Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 fixtures announced: Pakistan placed in same group as India

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced fixtures and groups for this year’s Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.

The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will be the ninth edition of the tournament which has been moved to UAE from Bangladesh after political instability marred the Asian country amid the students’ uprising last month.

The groups remain the same with Australia drawn alongside 2020 runners-up India, Trans-Tasman rival New Zealand, Asian sides Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Group A, the ICC announced in a handout.

South Africa and England are placed alongside 2016 champions West Indies, Bangladesh and Scotland in Group B.

In total, there will be 23 matches played across two venues in Dubai and Sharjah.

Group A: Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka

Group B: South Africa, England, West Indies, Bangladesh, Scotland

There will be 10 warm-up matches held before the tournament from 28 September through to 1 October.

Each team will play four group matches at the tournament, with the top two teams from each group progressing to the semi-finals on 17 and 18 October ahead of the Final in Dubai on 20 October.

A reserve day has been fixed for both the semi-finals and the final.

If India advances to the semi-finals, they will feature in Semi-final 1.
