The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has announced the revised schedule for the upcoming Women’s Asia Cup 2024. The tournament is set to take place in Dambulla, Sri Lanka, from July 19 to July 28, 2024.
India is set to face Pakistan in their first group game, while the tournament opener will feature UAE and Nepal. The previous edition of the tournament was held in Bangladesh in 2022, where India claimed their seventh title after defeating Sri Lanka in the final by eight wickets. The tournament was initially scheduled to take place in 2020 but was postponed to 2021 and subsequently 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2024 edition will feature eight teams, an increase from the previous edition. Along with India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, the tournament will also include the semifinalists of the Women’s Premier Cup 2024 – UAE, Malaysia, Nepal, and Thailand.
In a continuation of a positive trend, the tournament will feature all female referees and umpires, following the successful implementation of the same in the previous edition.
The Women’s Asia Cup will be followed by the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 in Bangladesh from October 3 to October 20. Get ready for an action-packed tournament featuring the top eight women’s cricket teams in Asia. Mark your calendars, as the tournament kicks off on July 19th, 2024, in Dambulla, Sri Lanka!
