England will open their 2024 Women’s T20 Cricket World Cup with a rematch of last year’s semi-final against South Africa.
Heather Knight’s side suffered a narrow six-run defeat to the eventual runners-up in the 2023 edition and will now face South Africa again after being drawn in the same group at this year’s tournament in Bangladesh.
Former champions West Indies host Bangladesh and one of the two qualifiers forms the remainder of Group B, while reigning champions Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and the other qualifier form Group A.
After their opening match in Dhaka on October 3, England will face the host nation at the same venue two days later, followed by the West Indies on October 12.
They round off the group stage with qualification on October 14th, the semi-finals on October 17th and 18th and the final on October 20th in Dhaka.
England are aiming to win the T20 World Cup for the first time since the inaugural tournament in 2009.
Scotland and Ireland are among ten teams fighting for the final two places in the ongoing qualifying competition in Abu Dhabi.
