Twelve teams are participating in the 12th Women’s T20 World Cup. Based on current form, World Cup history, team balance, and captaincy, Australia, India, England, and South Africa appear to be the strongest contenders for the title.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia is the most successful country in women’s cricket history. Australia has won the T20 World Cup six times out of the nine editions it has held so far. This time, the team will be led by Sophie Molyneux after Alyssa Healy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The presence of star players like Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Ash Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, and Megan Schutt in the team has made Australia very strong.\u00a0Australia has won 10 of its 12 T20 matches in the past year and a half. However, the team has not been able to perform to its potential in recent ICC tournaments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia lost to India in the semi-finals of the 2025 ODI World Cup and to South Africa in the semi-finals of the 2024 T20 World Cup.\u00a0Australia, India, England, South Africa, New Zealand, West Indies, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Ireland, Netherlands, and Scotland are playing in this World Cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
