Australia are the most successful team in the history of the Women’s World Cup having won the iconic trophy on seven occasions, with arch-rival England not far behind them with four title triumphs. New Zealand are the only other team to have had success at the event having won the tournament in 2000, while Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa and Sri Lanka are on the hunt for their first Women’s World Cup trophy. We take a look at everything you need to know for the tournament, which promises to be full of action as eight of the best women’s sides across the world battle it out for the famous trophy. FormatThere are no groups at the Women’s World Cup, with all teams to play seven matches during the group stage and the top four sides on the standings then progressing to the knockout semi-final stage. The highest-ranked team during the group stage will play the fourth-ranked team, while the second-ranked and third-ranked sides will face off, with the two winners then moving through to the title decider on November 2. VenuesA total of four venues will host games across India, with ACA Stadium (Guwahati), Holkar Stadium (Indore), ACA-VDCA Stadium (Visakhapatnam) and DY Patil Stadium (Navi Mumbai) all scheduled for matches across the tournament. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is the sole venue in Sri Lanka that will be used during the event and is in contention to host the final alongside DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. FixturesA total of 28 matches will be played across the group stage, with all matches to commence at 3pm local time apart from the contest between England and New Zealand on October 26 that will start at an earlier time of 11am (local). The first semi-final is scheduled to be held in Guwahati or Colombo on October 29, with the second semi-final then set for DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on October 30. Navi Mumbai or Colombo will then host the final of the event on November 2. A full list of the fixtures can be found here.
