Australia is the most successful team
All ten teams are ready for the Women's T20 World Cup 2024. This tournament was earlier to be played in Bangladesh, but due to violent protests there, ICC shifted the tournament to UAE.
Australia, the most successful team of the World Cup, is once again considered the favorite for this tournament. They have won the World Cup title six times in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2020, and 2023. Australia had defeated South Africa in the final of the last World Cup under the captaincy of Meg Lanning. This time, Alyssa Healy will lead the team. This is going to be her first World Cup as captain.
India will aim for their maiden T20 World Cup title
Australia's closest rivals in the title race are India and England, while the Indian women's team is also looking for its first T20 World Cup title. Harmanpreet Kaur is leading a strong Indian team after a huge defeat against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2024 final in July. The Indian Men's Cricket team had won the T20 World Cup this time. Harmanpreet is ready to repeat that title win once again.
So, let's take a look at the squads of all 10 teams before the start of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024.
