It's another triple-header day in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 as the chase for the four semi-final spots gets tighter.
Australia will be looking to take a massive step towards one with a win over Netherlands in the opening match of the day having already beaten South Africa and Bangladesh. Netherland will be looking to cause an upset and keep their tournament hopes alive.
Pakistan find themselves in a similar position with defeats in both their games so far against India and South Africa and need a win against Bangladesh to keep their hopes alive. Bangladesh on the other hand would be looking to bag their second win of the T20 World Cup 2026.
The final match is a Group B encounter between England and Scotland. The latter were very close to upsetting the West Indies in their last encounter but ultimately fell short. They will be looking to go one better when they take on England in the final match of the day. They will have their task cut out against an English side that has won both their games so far and have their sights firmly set on a semi-final spot.
