After a successful Men’s T20 World Cup, it’s now time for the Women’s teams to take charge as the Women’s T20 World Cup is all set to start on October 3, with 23 matches scheduled. The two venues in the UAE, Dubai and Sharjah, are set to host the competition, with 10 top-quality teams competing. So, which team will lift the T20 World Cup silverware? Will the Australia women’s team work their magic again and register their seventh T20 World Cup trophy, or will this UAE edition bring some twists? Speaking more about the teams in the T20 World Cup, many teams can pull off some magic, but there are three teams that look like real contenders. So, who are they? Let’s have a look.
Teams that may win Women’s T20 World Cup 2024
India
Having an experienced lineup, with Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur among the names in the pack, there’s no chance we can sideline them. The Indian women’s team has experienced a lot of knockout matches and disappointments, having come close many time, in 2020 T20 World Cups they qualified for the finals but lost. However, this time, with experience on their side, they will look to leave all disappointments behind and aim for the trophy. Also, the UAE conditions will be beneficial, as the pitches are more similar to Indian surfaces, providing slow and spin-friendly conditions that the Indian women will look to exploit.
Australia
With six T20 World Cup trophies in their cabinet, the Australian women’s cricket team will aim to secure their seventh title. The squad features many young players, including Darcie Brown and Sophie Molineux, alongside experienced names like Alyssa Healy, who provides a big boost to the team. As the defending champions, they are under pressure as the benchmark set by Healy. Once again, she is taking the lead, and it will be interesting to see how things unfold for them.
England
We also cannot overlook the England team, which is desperately seeking the T20 World Cup trophy they last won in 2009. This means they will be eager to secure that silverware. The team has reached the knockout stages multiple times but, much like India, has struggled to clinch victory when it matters most. With players like Freya Kemp and Linsey Smith, the England women’s team, much like the men’s team, will be determined to win the trophy.
