Group A features a formidable lineup, including defending champions Australia, 2020 runners-up India, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, Group B will see South Africa, England, 2016 champions West Indies, Bangladesh, and Scotland compete for a spot in the knockout stages.
Sri Lanka and Scotland secured their places in the tournament earlier this year, having successfully navigated the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier held in Abu Dhabi.
Each team will play four group-stage matches, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the semi-finals, which are scheduled for October 17 and 18.
The winners of these matches will then face off in the grand final on October 20, with a reserve day in place for both the semi-finals and the final.
In total, 23 matches will be played across the two venues, with at least 10 warm-up games scheduled from September 28 to October 1.
The ICC’s decision to relocate the tournament to the UAE is expected to bring a new level of excitement and competitiveness to this premier event in women’s cricket.
