All systems ready for women’s T20 World Cup

The 12 captains at the launch of the Women’s T20 World Cup

The Women’s T20 World Cup starts on Friday, with hosts England taking on Sri Lanka in the tournament opener at Edgbaston.
Six-time winners Australia start as favourites but 50-over world champions India and back-to-back finalists South Africa might have something to say about that.
As for England, they sealed a big series win against India in the build-up and have never lost a World Cup when they have been the hosts.
The 12-team tournament consists of two groups of six, with the top two teams from each group going through to the semi-finals before the final at Lord’s on 5 July.
