On February 10, 2023, the Women's T20 World Cup 2023 will begin in South Africa. The championship event will feature a total of 10 teams, with the final set for February 26 at Newlands in Cape Town. The defending champions, Australia, will try to keep the crown in their possession.
At Newlands in Cape Town, the T20 World Cup will begin with a match between South Africa Women and Sri Lanka Women. The first warm-up match between South Africa and England Women ended in a loss, but they later turned things around and beat Pakistan Women.
As a result of Dane van Niekerk's exclusion from the squad because she failed the fitness test, they will be led by Sune Luus. The hosts will be hoping to get the T20 World Cup 2023 off to a winning start.
Chamari Athapaththu will be in charge of Sri Lanka, on the other hand. The seasoned left-handed batter is a crucial player in the team, and the Asian team will rely heavily on her performance.
They defeated the women of Ireland in their opening exhibition match but fell short against the women of the West Indies. In their opening T20 World Cup 2023 game on Friday, they will need to strike together if they want to challenge the hosts.
