ICC Women's T20 World Cup

When following ICC Women's T20 World Cup, the premier global competition for women's Twenty20 cricket, organized by the sport’s governing body every two years. Also known as Women's T20 World Cup, it brings together the best national sides to battle for the trophy. The International Cricket Council, the world authority that sets rules, schedules and rankings for all cricket formats oversees the event, sets the tournament calendar and defines qualification pathways. ICC Women's T20 World Cup follows a clear structure: a round‑robin group stage leads to knockout rounds, and the net run rate often decides who advances when points tie. This format encourages aggressive batting, sharp fielding, and strategic bowling changes, making every match a high‑stakes showdown.
