England will open their Women’s T20 Cricket World Cup 2024 campaign with a rematch of last year’s semi-final against South Africa.
Heather Knight’s side suffered a narrow six-point defeat to eventual 2023 finalists and will face South Africa again after being drawn in the same group for this year’s tournament in Bangladesh .
Former champions West Indies host Bangladesh and one of the two qualifiers makes up the remainder of Group B, with the reigning champions being Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and the other qualifier making up the group A.
After their opening match in Dhaka on October 3, England will face the hosts at the same venue two days later, followed by West Indies on October 12.
They close the group stage by playing the qualifiers on October 14, the semi-finals on October 17 and 18 and the final on October 20 in Dhaka.
England are aiming to win the T20 World Cup for the first time since the inaugural tournament in 2009.
