England will host the 10th edition of the ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup in June and July. Five months before the opening match on June 12, more than 1,00,000 tickets have been sold, according to the BBC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In 2017, the ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup final at Lord\u2019s, which England won on home soil, sold out, the first time a traditionally male-orientated sport had filled England\u2019s biggest cricket stadium for a women\u2019s match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The upcoming T20 showpiece event marks the biggest ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup yet, with 12 teams, more than ever before, vying for the coveted trophy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 12 teams will be divided into two groups. Group 1 features multiple-time champions Australia, 2024 finalists South Africa, Asian heavyweights India and Pakistan, along with two teams from the Global Qualifier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Group 2 includes hosts England, defending champions New Zealand, Sri Lanka, former winners West Indies, and the other two teams from the Global Qualifier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals, scheduled for 30 June and July 2 at The Oval, with the grand finale at Lord\u2019s on July 5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The tournament spans 24 days and features 33 matches across seven iconic venues \u2013 Edgbaston, Hampshire Bowl, Headingley, Old Trafford, The Oval, Bristol County Ground and Lord\u2019s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
