Summary
The ICC Women's T20 Cricket World Cup 2026 is set to begin on June 12 with hosts England taking on Sri Lanka in the opening fixture in Birmingham, with the final scheduled on Lords on July 5.
This is the first Women's World Cup featuring 12 teams placed across two groups - A and B, with 6 teams each. Each team in both groups will play five matches, with the top two teams qualifying for the semifinals.
India are placed in one of the most competitive Groups A, along with six-time champions Australia, South Africa, Bangladesh, Netherlands and Pakistan. The Women In Blue will start their campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan in one of the sought-after matches of the tournament on Sunday, February 14.
India's women's team has enjoyed several memorable World Cup campaigns over the years, but they have often found themselves as the bridesmaid rather than the bride. They reached the T20 World Cup final in 2020 and followed it up with a semi-final appearance in 2022, yet the elusive world title has continued to slip through their grasp.
However the ODI World Cup win last year is believed to have broken the shackles within the Indian women's team because of which they used to falter near the finish line and fans hope that just like the men's teams the Indian ladies could also win back-to-back titles to assert their dominance in the world.
The Harmanpreet Kaur led Indian team has the arsenal to become the T20 champions as well if they sort out their lower-middle order issues and the bowling department churns out more consistent performances.
