Thursday, October 3, is the scheduled start date of the Women’s T20 World Cup. India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, is pursuing their first championship. All the information you require on the Indian team’s tournament schedule is provided here.
The India team captained by Harmanpreet Kaur is scheduled to kick off their Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign on Friday, October 4. In addition to England and Australia, the Indian team, which is vying for its first championship, begins the competition as one of the favourites to win the trophy.
India will not be taking part in the opening match of the competition this time around. The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will take place in the United Arab Emirates starting on October 3rd. Scotland, who are new to the event, will play the hosts, Bangladesh, in the opening game. There will be ten teams participating in the ninth Women’s T20 World Cup, divided into Group A and Group B.
The occasion had to be rescheduled to the United Arab Emirates because of political unrest in Bangladesh. The league will proceed with its original schedule, consisting of 23 matches over 18 days and a final on October 20 to become the next T20 World Champion, despite the last-minute change. The tournament favourites, Australia, India, and England, will not be the only sides vying to take home the coveted ICC trophy and make an impression.

Where can I watch matches of India in the Women’s T20 World Cup?
In India, Star Sports Network will televise the Women’s T20 World Cup in 2024. The Disney+ Hotstar app and website will offer live streaming for the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.
In addition to giving women’s cricket more attention, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has made history by deciding that prize money for the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will be equal to that of the men’s competition. For the first time ever in the annals of international cricket, the prize money for the women’s and men’s events will be the same.
The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 victors will take home USD 2.34 million, a whopping 134% increase over the USD 1 million given to Australia in the 2023 competition staged in South Africa. It is anticipated that this breakthrough would motivate other athletic organisations to follow suit and create a new standard for gender balance in international cricket.
