India will be taking on arch-rivals Pakistan on October 6 as per the revamped fixtures of the upcoming Women’s T20 World Cup released by the ICC on Monday. The tournament is set to begin from October 3.
The competition initially scheduled to be held in Bangladesh however, was moved to the UAE by the ICC after many players expressed concerns around security due to political unrest in the country. Dubai and Sharjah are the only 2 venues in the event hosting a total of 23 matches.
The groups remain the same, with defending champions Australia clubbed alongside India, New Zealand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. On the other hand, Group B comprises South Africa, England, West Indies, Bangladesh and Scotland.
Each side will play 4 group matches at the tournament, with the top 2 teams from each group progressing to the semi-finals on October 17 and 18 ahead of the final in Dubai on October 20. A reserve day has also been fixed for both the semi-finals and the final.
