Team India will square off against hosts South Africa in their ICC U19 Women’s World Cup opener on the same day at Willowmoore Park in Benoni. Previously, the tournament was scheduled to take place in January 2021 before being pushed back to December 2021. But it had to be delayed further due to the pandemic. After a long discussion between ICC and other cricket boards, finally, ICC CEO Geoff Allardice confirmed that the event would be organised in early 2023.
Here’s all you need to know about the ICC U19 Women’s World Cup 2023:
Format
A total of 16 teams, including 11 full ICC members and 5 associate countries, will compete with each other. They are divided into four groups. As the group league will be in a single round-robin format, each team will get to play three games during this stage. Then, the top three sides from each group will advance to the next stage – Super Six Round.
The qualified 12 teams will be split into two groups with six members in each. The top two teams from both groups will progress to the knockout stage. Semi-finals will take place on 27 January and the winners will cross swords in the summit clash on 29 January at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom.
Tournament host
ICC U19 Women’s World Cup will consist of 41 matches that will be played across different venues in South Africa.
Groups
India women’s U19 side is looking positive to take the coveted trophy home in the very first edition as per their recent form. They have registered victories in their last three outings against the Proteas.
