ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023: Full squads, Fixtures & Preview: All you need to know
With the inaugural edition of the U-19 Women's T20 World Cup turning out to be an out and out success, it is now time for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023, which will kick off on 10th February, with 10 teams vying for the trophy.
Three venues across South Africa will host the T20 World Cup. Newlands, Cape Town will be the venue for the curtain raiser, the semi-finals and the final. Boland Park in Paarl, and St George’s Park in Gqeberha, currently being used for the SA20, are also set to host World Cup matches.
As always, Australia start the tournament as favourites, with England and India in the race to finally end the Oz dominance.
New Zealand and South Africa come next, and have the ability to challenge any opposition on their day. However, the controversial absence of Dane van Niekerk has hit the host's chances hard.
The India vs Pakistan match on 12th February, which will also be the first match for both teams in the competition, is another marquee clash.
The teams have been divided into two groups:
Group 1
Australia, Bangladesh, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka
Group 2
England, India, Ireland, Pakistan, West Indies
