When will the tournament start?

The 2024 Women's T20 World Cup will start from October 03, while the final match will be played on October 20. A total of 20 league matches will be played in the tournament. Apart from this, there will be two semi-finals and a final. The tournament will be played in the UAE, which was earlier to be played in Bangladesh. Due to the bad situation in Bangladesh, the ICC shifted the tournament to the UAE.

Decision taken at ICC Annual Conference

This decision was taken at the ICC Annual Conference in July 2023, when the ICC Board decided to equalise the prize money seven years ahead of the target date of 2030. Cricket thus becomes the first major sport to have equal prize money for men and women in the World Cup.
