Pakistan’s domestic women’s cricket season is about to get underway, with the National Women’s T20 Cup 2024-25 starting on May 7 in Karachi. The tournament will be played at two venues in the city, with the National Bank Stadium and the HPC Oval Ground getting the nod.
Challengers, Conquerors, Invincibles, Stars, and Strikers are the five teams that will be in action, taking part in a total of 22 matches over 18 days. Each team will face the others twice in a double-league format, and the top team at the end of the group stage will go straight to the final on May 24, while the second- and third-placed teams will play a Qualifier on May 22 to decide the other finalist.
Both the Qualifier and the Final will be played at National Bank Stadium and will be live-streamed on the PCB’s YouTube channel.
