The ICC T20 World Cup is the flagship international Twenty20
tournament, organised by the International Cricket Council. Two T20
World Cups will be played in Australia in 2020, starting with the ICC
Women’s T20 World Cup, comprising 10 teams playing 23 matches from
21 February to 8 March 2020, followed by the ICC Men’s T20 World
Cup, involving 16 teams playing 45 matches from 18 October to 15
November 2020. For the first time, T20 cricket’s global showpiece
women’s and men’s competitions will be played as standalone events
in the same host country and in the same year. Eight host cities and
13 venues throughout Australia will host matches, with both
competitions having broad national footprints, meaning as many
Australians as possible will have the chance to see the world’s best
players in their backyard. The women’s and men’s finals will
receive equal billing, with both matches taking place at Australia’s
biggest stadium, the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The women’s
final is scheduled for International Women’s Day, Sunday 8 March
2020. This presents an opportunity for Australia to set a new world
record for the highest ever attendance at a women’s sporting event.
