Winning Probability and Predictions

In the beginning of the tournament, Australia, the defending champions and the most successful team in the history of the Women’s T20 World Cup, were considered the favorites. They have won six of the last eight tournaments, including the last three consecutive editions. England and India also posed strong challenges. England, ranked second in the world, has been one of the most consistent teams in women’s  cricket. Despite all the predictions, out of nowhere, South Aftrica and New Zealand have made into the finals. In between these two finalists, South Africa looks more confident and favorate for all. 

Past Performances:

Australia has dominated the Women’s T20 World Cup since the tournament’s inception in 2009, winning six titles. England, the inaugural winners in 2009, remain a top team but have often fallen short in finals against Australia. India has come close, finishing as runners-up in 2020, losing to Australia in the final. New Zealand has been consistent but is yet to claim the title, while South Africa reached their first final in 2023, where they lost to Australia.

The 2024 final promises to be a thrilling contest, with the world’s best players vying for the prestigious trophy. The UAE, with its modern facilities and large expatriate cricket fanbase, sets the stage for another exciting chapter in women’s cricket.
