    Women's T20 WC: India, Pakistan to meet on October 6

    What's the story

    The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will be the new host for the Women's T20 World Cup 2024.

    The decision comes after political unrest in Bangladesh led to a change in venue.

    Despite Sheikh Hasina's resignation as Prime Minister and departure from Bangladesh, the situation remained unstable, prompting ICC to shift the tournament location.

    The competition is set to commence on October 3.

    Schedule changes

    Revised schedule for Women's T20 World Cup 2024

    The ICC has also released a revised schedule for the tournament.

    The opening match will see Bangladesh take on Scotland in Sharjah, while Pakistan will face Sri Lanka on the same day at the same venue.

    India is set to play their first match against New Zealand in Dubai on October 4.

    Defending champions Australia will begin their campaign against Sri Lanka in Sharjah on October 5.

    Tournament finale

    Final and team preparations for Women's T20 World Cup

    The final of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 will be hosted by Dubai on October 20.

    Both semi-finals and the final have been allocated a reserve day, unlike the men's T20 World Cup earlier this year.

    All participating teams are expected to arrive in UAE by late September, with warm-up matches commencing on September 28.

    The tournament will mark England and West Indies's first T20I appearance in UAE during this 10-team event.
