UAE is set for some action-packed cricket as the Women’s T20 World Cup is set to start on October 3rd, featuring 10 teams all eyeing the tournament trophy. Over the years, the T20 World Cup has gained global coverage and received immense love, just like the men’s T20 World Cup edition, and there are chances that this tournament will thrive even more.

Australia has clinched the trophy a record six times, while the Indian women’s cricket team, New Zealand, and South Africa have been runners-up in different editions. All three teams will look to change their results this time around.
Speaking more about the Indian women’s team, Harmanpreet Kaur is set to lead the team once again. It’s worth noting that under her captaincy, India reached the finals of the T20 World Cup in 2020.
