With the Women’s T20 World Cup scheduled for October 3-20 of this year, the schedule for the tournament was unveiled on Sunday with India being placed in the same group with defending champion Australia.
Alongside the Aussies, India will be joined in Group A by arch-rivals Pakistan as well as New Zealand.
India will begin their campaign against New Zealand on October 4 and face off against Pakistan on October 6 in the ninth edition of the Women’s T20 WC.
India will then face off against yet-to-be-identified Qualifier 1 team on October 9 while their clash against six-time world champions Australia will be on October 13.
All of India’s match will be in Sylhet in Bangladesh, the venue of this edition of the World Cup.
“Each side will play four group matches at the tournament, with the top two teams from each group progressing to the cut-throat semi-finals on 17 and 18 October ahead of the Final in Dhaka on 20 October,” the ICC posted on its website.
“In total, there will be 23 matches played across 19 days in Dhaka and Sylhet, with reserve days in place for both semi-finals and the final should they be required,” the ICC added.
India are currently on a tour to hosts Bangladesh where they have already wrapped yp the 5-match series 3-0.
In the World Cup, Bangladesh are placed in Group B along with South Africa, England, West Indies and Qualifier 2. The two teams will enter the main tournament after the Qualifying event identifies the two finalists later today. Ireland, UAE, Sri Lanka and Scotland are in the fray.
