A total of six teams will compete, including four full ICC members—Pakistan, Bangladesh, West Indies, and Ireland—along with associate nations Scotland and Thailand. Matches will be held at Lahore’s iconic Gaddafi Stadium and the Lahore Cricket Club Association (LCCA) Ground.
The action will kick off on April 9 with two matches. Pakistan will take on Ireland at Gaddafi Stadium, while the West Indies will face Scotland at the LCCA Ground. Over 15 fixtures in the league stage will be played, with the top two teams advancing to join Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and hosts India, who have already secured their places in the Women’s World Cup through the ICC Women’s Championship.
ICC CEO Geoff Allardice expressed excitement for the event, emphasizing its importance in shaping the Women’s World Cup this year. He praised Lahore as a fantastic venue, anticipating a thrilling competition as teams vie for their World Cup dreams.
