Women's T20 World Cup

on

 The Women's T20 World Cup is an international cricket tournament organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for women's national teams. It is a Twenty20 format tournament, which means each team plays a single innings of 20 overs. The tournament was first held in England in 2009, and since then, it has been held every two years.

The tournament features the top 10 women's cricket teams in the world, as determined by the ICC rankings. The teams are divided into two groups of five, and each team plays against the other teams in their group in a round-robin format. The top two teams from each group then qualify for the semi-finals, with the winners of the semi-finals advancing to the final.

Australia is the most successful team in the history of the Women's T20 World Cup, having won the tournament a record five times (2010, 2012, 2014, 2018, and 2020). The current champions are Australia, who won the 2020 edition of the tournament, which was held in Australia. The next edition of the Women's T20 World Cup is scheduled to be held in South Africa in 2023.
