The upcoming edition of the Women’s T20 World Cup is scheduled to be played in the United Arab Emirates and the showpiece event will start from October 3, and shall go on till October 21. The competition was initially scheduled to be played in Bangladesh but due to the political unrest in the country, the competition had to be moved out to UAE.
The tournament started in 2009 and since then the Indian cricket team has been able to reach the final stage once — in 2020. Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian team will be aiming to go one step further this time and capture the elusive title.
