Welcome to our coverage of the inaugural Women’s U19 T20 World Cup.

First of all let’s have a look at the format of the competition. Initially the sixteen qualifying teams are divided into four groups.

Group A – Australia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, USA
Group B – England, Pakistan, Rwanda, Zimbabwe
Group C – Indonesia, Ireland, New Zealand, West Indies
Group D – India, Scotland, South Africa, UAE

Each team will play two warm-up games (see below).

In the Group Stage they will play each team in their group once. The top three teams in each group will then enter the Super 6s Leagues.
Super 6 League 1 – A1, A2, A3, D1, D2, D3
Super 6 League 2 – B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, C3

In the Super 6 Leagues teams will only play two more games (not three). The top two sides from the Super 6s Leagues go on to the semi-finals, and then the winners to the final.

Warm-up games are on Monday and Wednesday this week and the competition proper starts on Saturday 14th January 2023. Here are the warm-up games.
