The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020 Media Guide is available in a downloadable format in the Resources section of the ICC Online Media Zone. The guide features tournament, player and match official statistics, details about the venue, contact numbers and other information in a downloadable format. For access to Online Media Zone, write to media@icc-cricket.com. Access is normally provided within 24 hours.

We have now begun the process of match-day accreditation for the knockout matches at the Sydney Cricket Ground (semifinals on 5 March) and the Melbourne Cricket Ground (final on 8 March).

For this, you need to log on to the media accreditation portal here and select matches you intend to cover. The portal will remain open until 9 a.m. on 4 March, Melbourne time. The match-day lists will be finalised by 5 p.m. on 4 March for the semifinals and by 5 p.m. on 6 March for the final.

Please note that applying for matches does not guarantee you match-day accreditation. The match-day lists will be drawn up keeping in mind the participating teams and preference will be given to media from those countries. In addition, a strict priority order will be enforced for positions in the press box and photo positions as outlined in the FAQs document, which is available in the Resources section off the Online Media Zone.

Accredited media who have attended tournament matches will be given preference over others who are also accredited but have missed matches without informing us.
