The DRS was first used in an ICC Women’s T20 World Cup event in 2018. The technology was subsequently used in the 2020 edition as well. The ICC has confirmed that it will be available for all the matches in the upcoming event. Each team can use up to two reviews per innings during the matches.
The usual DRS services including ball tracking and edge detection will be provided. Players can utilise it to challenge the on-field umpire’s decision. It is also announced that the Spidercam will be used only during the semi-finals and the final.

“There are some very fine sides here, and it is going to be all about who does well on a particular day. I wish the teams all the very best and hope they enjoy being part of this tournament,” Mithali added.
The other Indians in the panel include Former India coach WV Raman and former cricketer Anjum Chopra. Other iconic names of the game including Ian Bishop, Nasser Hussain, Mpumelelo Mbangwa, Alan Wilkins, Sana Mir, Mel Jones will all call out the games during the course of the event.
