The T20I tournament will be played by the top eight Associate Members, of which five hold ODI status, and the remaining three are the highest-ranked teams in the ICC Women's T20I Team Rankings as of May 1, 2025, the cut-off date.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Eight teams - Thailand, the Netherlands, Papua New Guinea, the United Arab Emirates, Scotland, Namibia, Tanzania, and Uganda - will compete across two venues, the Terdthai Cricket Ground and the Asian Institute of Technology in Bangkok.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The eight teams will play each other once in a single round-robin structure, with the trophy to be lifted on November 30. The hosts come into the tournament as the highest-ranked (11th), and do enjoy a nine-match winning streak in completed matches, though they will be tested with the bat against a strong field.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
ICC CEO Sanjog Gupta said, \u201cIt is the ICC and the Chair\u2019s vision to sustainably expand Cricket\u2019s footprint across the world and grow the women\u2019s game. Providing elite athletes from emerging nations more opportunities to play at the highest level is aimed at fast-tracking their development and improving the competitiveness of their teams. It also drives the visibility of the sport in participant nations, serving as a driver of girls\u2019 involvement in the sport and inspires women from other nations to stay committed to the development pathways.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
