ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020: Live streaming, telecast details, and squads
Women's first standalone T20 World Cup is all set to enthrall the cricket fans between February 21, 2020 and March 08, 2020. But before the mega event, the teams will go head-to-head in T20 warm-ups between February 15, 2020 and February 20, 2020. Furthermore, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has decided to use front-foot no-ball technology during the main event of the T20 World Cup. As a result, the on-field umpires will only be responsible for above waist no-ball and all the front-foot no-balls will be monitored by the third umpire and he will communicate his decision to the on-field umpires for signaling.
The main tournament is scheduled to be played across six Australian venues: Manuka Oval (Canberra), Junction Oval (Melbourne), Melbourne Cricket Ground (Melbourne), WACA Ground (Perth), Sydney Showground Stadium (Sydney), and Sydney Cricket Ground (Sydney). But the 10 warm-up fixtures (five games each) will be played at two venues Allan Border Field (Brisbane) and Karen Rolton Oval (Adelaide).
