The 2024 Women's T20 World Cup will be held in the United Arab Emirates from October 3-20 with Australia aiming for a third straight title and seventh overall and England targeting a first trophy since the inaugural edition in 2009.
Every match will be live on Sky Sports, starting with the tournament opener between Bangladesh and Scotland in Sharjah and concluding with the final in Dubai.
The tournament will offer a record amount of prize money totalling £6m, the ICC has confirmed, with the champions to win £1.77m - more than double the previous award for 2023 champions Australia (£756,335). The losing finalists will walk away with £884,911, while each of the 10 participating teams are assured of £85,088.
The competition was due to be held in Bangladesh but has been moved to the UAE due to civil unrest.
The 10 competing teams have been separated into two groups of five with sides playing each other once in the pool phase before the top two advance to the semi-finals.
Scotland and Sri Lanka came through the qualifying tournament to join Australia, England, South Africa, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, West Indies and Bangladesh in the event.
Group A: Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka
Group B: South Africa, England, West Indies, Bangladesh, Scotland
