In the spring of 2022, the main cricket event of recent years will take place. This is the Women’s World Cup, which will be hosted by New Zealand.
Undoubtedly, this event will attract hundreds of thousands of viewers around the world, because such an event when you can watch the best cricketers play in one tournament happens not every year, and in the context of a global pandemic, this opportunity is even rarer.
Initially, the championship was supposed to take place in 2021, but due to the same pandemic, it was rescheduled for 2022. The matches will now take place between 4th March to 3rd April 2022.
Which teams will take part in the tournament?

New Zealand received an automatic place in the tournament as the host country. 4 more teams got their places thanks to successful performances at ICC Women’s Championship. They are India, Australia, England, and South Africa.
The fate of 3 more trips to the World Cup was to be decided in the qualifying tournament in 2021, but Covid-19 made its own adjustments. The tournament was canceled and places in the tournament were given to the top 3 ranked teams by ICC ODI Rankings – Pakistan, West Indies, and Bangladesh.
It should be noted that compared to the last championship in 2017, there was only one change in the composition of the participants – the Bangladesh team ousted the Sri Lanka team.
Where and when will the matches take place?
World Cup matches will be held in 6 New Zealand cities:
- Christchurch

Who can be considered the favorites of the tournament?
This tournament has a fairly even line-up of participants and everyone can shoot with a good result. However, it is still possible to single out a few favorites.

India also has excellent chances of reaching the final or even winning. This team played in the final of the last championship.
