The show-piece tournament, initially scheduled to be held in Bangladesh, was moved out of the country by the ICC after many players expressed concerns around security due to the prevailing political unrest. The 10-team tournament has retained the originally start date of October 3, and a total of 23 matches, including the three knockout matches, will be staged at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai and Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah. The 10 teams have been divided into two groups of five teams. The groups remain the same, with defending champion Australia clubbed alongside India, New Zealand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Group B comprises South Africa, England, West Indies, Bangladesh and Scotland. Each side will play four group matches at the tournament, with the top two teams from each group progressing to the semi-finals, which will be held on October 17 and 18 ahead of the final in Dubai on October 20. A reserve day has been fixed for both the semi-finals and the final. If India advance, they will feature in the first semi-final in Dubai. The second semi-final will be held in Sharjah, while the final will be hosted in Dubai.

Eight teams including India and Pakistan had booked their spots directly, while Sri Lanka and Scotland qualified for the tournament via the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier event held in Abu Dhabi earlier this year. Bangladesh will face Scotland in the opening contest on October 3, when Asian rivals Pakistan and Sri Lanka lock horns in the second match later in the night. India will open their campaign against New Zealand on October 4. Reigning record champions Australia begin their campaign against Sri Lanka on October 5. India will be taking on arch-rivals Pakistan on October 6 in Dubai. Here is a look at the full fixtures list: Women's T20 World Cup 2024 Schedule - Fixtures List With Dates & Timings in IST
