In their must-win final group game, the West Indies Women's cricket team pulled off a dominant 6-wicket victory over England, securing their spot in the semifinals of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024. Despite also earning six points, England was eliminated due to their inferior net run rate, with South Africa earning the second spot in the semifinals. The upcoming semifinals will see defending champions Australia face off against South Africa, while the West Indies will take on New Zealand.
The ninth edition of the Women's T20 World Cup kicks off today in the UAE, with 10 teams competing for the title. The tournament was shifted from Bangladesh due to political turmoil, but Bangladesh remains the official host. Australia, with six titles already under their belt, will be looking to lift the trophy for a record-breaking seventh time. 10 teams are divided into two groups, with the top two from each group moving on to the semifinals.
