The ICC Women’s T20 Cricket World Cup began its group-stage matches in England on Thursday, with fixtures at Lord’s and The Oval in London. Teams from around the world opened their campaigns in the biennial tournament.
Lord’s, widely regarded as the home of cricket, hosted the first matches of the group phase. The Oval, another historic London venue, shared hosting duties for the opening round.
Defending champions and top-ranked sides entered the tournament as favorites in their respective groups. The World Cup features the leading women’s national teams competing in the shortest international format.
Group-stage play will determine which teams advance to the knockout rounds. England, as host nation, aimed to capitalize on home conditions throughout the competition.
