Lord’s to host final of 2026 Women’s T20 World Cup

The Women’s T20 World Cup final will take place on July 5th, according to organizers at Lord’s.

Headingley, Old Trafford, Edgbaston, The Oval, the Hampshire Bowl, and Bristol’s County Ground will host matches as part of the 12-team competition, which will take place all over England.

The full schedule will be announced in due course on Friday, June 12; this will be England’s second tournament hosting.

England and Wales both received the permission to host the tournament, but Cardiff did not.

In 2017, the hosts famously won a dramatic final at Lord’s in the women’s 50-over World Cup.

The 2017 Women’s Cricket World Cup final at Lord’s in London, which was a sell-out, is regarded as a milestone in the development of the female game, according to International Cricket Council Chair Jay Shah.

The announcement that the final will take place at Lord’s is of course extra special, according to England and Wales Cricket Board CEO Richard Gould.

Every cricketer aspires to play in special occasions like a World Cup final at Lord’s because it is one of the best venues in world cricket.

We want this competition to be a part of a long-term movement rather than just a passing moment.

Australia, India, New Zealand, the West Indies, South Africa, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka already have hosts spots reserved for England.
