DHAKA, May 3, 2024 (BSS)- The International Cricket Council (ICC) will 
announce the fixture of the Women's T20 World Cup at a local hotel in Dhaka 
tomorrow (Sunday).

Bangladesh are the host of the ninth edition of the Women's T20 World Cup. 
This is the second time the country is hosting the tournament, having 
organized the event earlier in 2014.

The announcement will be attended by esteemed guests including the Bangladesh 
Government's Minister for Youth and Sports and BCB President Nazmul Hassan 
Papon, ICC CEO Geoff Allardice and the Women's Team Captains of Bangladesh 
and India.

Top 10 Women's team will feature in 23 matches in the tournament after which 
the champions will be decided. All of the matches sans final will be held at 
two venues of the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Sher-e-Bangla 
National Cricket Stadium, Mirpur, considered as the country's home of cricket 
will host the final. 

Bangladesh participated the tournament for the first time in 2014 when they 
were the host. They sprung a surprise by beating Sri Lanka in the group phase 
but eventually couldn't make it the second round. Later, they played 16 
matches in four editions of the World Cup but failed to win any game.

This time too, they qualified for the tournament proper after a dominating 
performance in qualifiers. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) hopes that the 
Tigresses will be able to end win draught in the World Cup by taking the 
advantage of the home condition.
