The ECB selected London’s Waterloo Bridge for an event to announce the arrival of the Women’s T20 World Cup on home soil and transformed it into a cricket pitch for the day on Sunday, 7th June. The skippers of the 12 competing nations took part in the event and shoot out and Nat Sciver-Brunt, the England captain, hoped to inspire a fresh generation of future stars. She voiced her hopes of establishing a new legacy.

Waterloo Bridge is a road and foot traffic bridge crossing the River Thames in London and offers the sight of St Paul’s and the City to the east, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to the west. The existing bridge was built by women during the Second World War (1939–1945), inspiring various songs and stories about London.
