This increase reflects how all of women’s cricket is reaching new heights and captivating the national imagination.

It will be highlighted by a rematch of the epic World Cup final – India vs. South Africa! Lord’s will host India v Australia on June 28. The tournament will be played in additional cities. Get ready for some explosive encounters at The Oval, Edgbaston, Headingley, the County Ground at Bristol and Southampton!
