The Women’s T20 World Cup kicks off on Thursday, October 3. Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, India is on the hunt for their first-ever title. Here’s a complete guide to the Indian team’s fixtures in the tournament.

India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, is gearing up to launch their Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign on Friday, October 4. The Indian team, in pursuit of their first title, enters the tournament as one of the top contenders alongside England and Australia.

This year, India will not be playing in the tournament opener. The Women’s T- Twenty World Cup 2024 will officially kick off on October 3 in the United Arab Emirates, featuring hosts Bangladesh facing off against tournament debutants Scotland in the opening match. The ninth edition of the Women’s T20 World Cup includes 10 teams divided into two groups—Group A and Group B.

Originally scheduled to be held in Bangladesh, the tournament was moved to the UAE due to a political crisis in the host country. Despite the change in location, the competition retains its original format and will showcase a total of 23 matches over 18 days, culminating in the final on October 20, where the new T20 World Champion will be crowned. Australia, India, and England are considered the favourites, but other teams will also aim to make their mark and compete for the prestigious ICC title.
