ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 Schedule: India to play New Zealand first, followed by Pakistan
As per the newly released ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 schedule, India will start their campaign against New Zealand on 4th October, followed by Pakistan on 6th October.
The Indian Women's Cricket Team will take on arch-rivals Pakistan on October 6 as per the new and updated Women's T20 World Cup fixture released by ICC on Monday. The ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024, which is all set to begin on October 3, was scheduled to be held in Bangladesh but was moved due to security reasons. Post that, ICC decided to shift the tournament to UAE with BCB still being the hosts of the marquee tournament.
The groups are still the same. Defending champion Australia are in Group A alongside India, New Zealand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Group B consists of South Africa, England, West Indies, Bangladesh and Scotland. Each side will play four group matches, with the top two teams from each group progressing to the semi-finals.
The two semis will be played on October 17 and 18 and the final in Dubai on October 20. There is also a reserve day for both the semi-finals and the final.
If India advances from the group stage, they will feature in the first semi-final. 10 warm-up matches will be played from September 28 to October 1.
Team India will play their tournament opener against New Zealand on 4th October in Dubai followed by the much-awaited match against arch-rival Pakistan on 6th October at the same venue.
The Indian Women's team will then play against the defending champions Australia on 13th October in Sharjah.
BCCI rejects ICC's offer to host Women's T20 World Cup
After India's withdrawal, Sri Lanka and UAE are the only other options left. Recently Sri Lanka hosted the Women's Asia Cup. This tournament was considered part of the preparation for the Women's T20 World Cup.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) rejected the proposal given by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to host the Women's T20 World Cup. The ICC is said to take a final call on August 20. The Women's T20 World Cup is to be played in Bangladesh from 3rd to 20th October.
"They [ICC] have asked us if we would conduct the World Cup. I have categorically said no. We're in the monsoon, and on top of that, we will host the Women's ODI World Cup next year. I don't want to give any kind of signals that I want to hold consecutive World Cups.” ," Jay Shah said.
Bangladesh is currently facing violence and security challenges due to the anti-government student movement. This is the reason why ICC is considering hosting someone else instead of Bangladesh. Hundreds of people have died in the ongoing violence in Bangladesh and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has also had to leave the country.
In such a situation, India was offered hosting. Now after India's withdrawal, Sri Lanka and UAE are the only other options left. Recently Sri Lanka hosted the Women's Asia Cup. This tournament was considered part of the preparation for the Women's T20 World Cup.
'Our priority is the safety'
ICC is concerned about the ongoing violence in Bangladesh. An ICC official had said, "The ICC is closely monitoring developments in coordination with the Bangladesh Cricket Board [BCB], their security agencies and our own independent security consultants. Our priority is the safety and well-being of all participants."
Bangladesh is trying to save the tournament
The new interim government in Bangladesh is finally trying to save the tournament. One of the biggest hurdles for the BCB is the travel advisory issued by the government of many participating teams, including England, Australia, and India.
Apart from security, there is also an issue that Bangladesh Cricket Board President and former Sports Minister Nazmul Hassan has been missing since August 5, after the fall of the government. Many board directors, who have political connections, are also not in touch.
Bangladesh Team is now in Pakistan for two Tests before flying to India for two Tests and three T20Is, starting September 19 in Chennai. Commenting on Team India's preparation for the first series of the home season, Shah said this series remains crucial for the Indian Team.
"We've not spoken to them (the Bangladesh authorities). A new government has taken charge there. They might reach out to us or else I will reach out to them. The Bangladesh series is very important to us." Shah said.
