India to play 2 warm-up matches before 2024 Women's T20 World Cup group stage
Like every major tournament, the ICC has planned a warm-up round for the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup so that the teams can get accustomed to the conditions and venues.
Initially, the tournament was scheduled to be played in Bangladesh. However, the officials shifted the competition to the United Arab Emirates a few weeks ago in the wake of the political unrest in Bangladesh.
The warm-up matches will happen at the ICC Academy grounds. India will play their first warm-up game against the West Indies on September 29 at 7.30 pm IST. On October 1, the Indian women's cricket team will take on last edition's runner-up South Africa in a warm-up game at the ICC Academy 1 Ground.
