ICC Women's World Twenty20: India Play New Zealand In Opener, Pakistan On November 11

The International Cricket Council on Monday announced the schedule for the ICC Women's World Twenty20 2018, which will be held in the West Indies from November 9 to 24. The 10-team tournament, featuring three-time champions Australia, reigning ICC Women's World Cup winners England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka and defending champions the Windies, plus two qualifiers, will be played across three venues in the Caribbean. The Women's T20 World Cup will be special as the Decision Review System (DRS) will make its debut.

The finalists of the ICC Women's World T20 Qualifier in the Netherlands from July 7 to 14 will complete the line-up of the November tournament, which is the first stand-alone ICC Women's World Twenty20 event.

Don't forget, there are still two places up for grabs that will be decided at next month's #WT20 qualifier!
