The ICC Women's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier, formerly the ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier (2013–2018) and the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier (2019–2022), is a biennial international cricket competition in Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) format (formerly in a hybrid Women's Twenty20 format until 2015), organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It was held in every odd year from 2013 to 2019 with the exception of 2017 which was held in 2018, and since 2022 it has been held in every even year. It serves as the final stage of the qualification process for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, formerly the ICC Women's World Twenty20 (2009–2018).

As of 2026, seven editions have been played; a total of 18 teams have competed and four teams have won the tournament. Bangladesh (2018, 2019, 2022, 2026) are the most successful team with four titles. Sri Lanka (2013, 2024) have won it twice, while Pakistan (2013) and Ireland (2015) have one title each. A total of six countries have hosted the tournament. Bangladesh are the current champions, having won their fourth title in the 2026 edition. The next edition of the tournament will take place in 2028.

History

[edit]

Background

[edit]

In 2003, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) introduced a 20-over per innings game to the county cricket.[1] The first official Twenty20 matches were played on 13 June 2003 between the English counties in the T20 Blast's inaugural edition.[2] The first official Women's Twenty20 matches were played on 29 May 2004 as part of the 2004 Super Fours.[3] The first Twenty20 match held at Lord's, on 15 July 2004 between Middlesex and Surrey, attracted a crowd of 26,500, the largest attendance for any county cricket game at the ground since 1953.[4] The first full international women's Twenty20 match was played on 5 August 2004 between England and New Zealand at County Cricket Ground in Hove. The first full international men's Twenty20 match was played on 17 February 2005 between Australia and New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland. The game was played in a light-hearted manner.[5][6]

Soon after, the International Cricket Council (ICC) adapted the T20I format and introduced the ICC Men's T20 World Cup (then known as the ICC World Twenty20) in 2007, followed by the ICC Women's T20 World Cup (then known as the ICC Women's World Twenty20) in 2009.[7][8] In December 2007, A separate qualifier event (later renamed as "Global Qualifier") for the men's tournament was announced and was introduced from the 2009 edition onwards.[9][10] In 2012, an expanded qualification pathway including a series of regional qualifiers was introduced for the men's tournament.[11] In 2013, both global and regional qualifiers were introduced as parts of the women's qualification pathway as well.[12]

Initial years (2013–2018)

[edit]

The inaugural qualifier was held in July 2013 in Ireland featuring 8 teams with the top 3 teams qualifying for the 2014 World Twenty20.[13][12] However, the final match of the qualifier was abandoned due to rain and the title was shared between Pakistan and Sri Lanka.[14] The second tournament was held in November and December 2015 in Thailand featuring 8 teams with only the top 2 teams qualifying for the 2016 World Twenty20.[15][16] The third tournament was held in July 2018 in the Netherlands featuring 8 teams with the top 2 qualifying for the 2018 World Twenty20.[17][18]

Disruptions and rebranding (2019–2022)

[edit]

In November 2018, as part of a goal to heighten the profile of the World Twenty20 tournaments, the ICC announced that they would be rebranded as the "T20 World Cup" beginning in 2020.[19] The third qualifier tournament was held in August – September 2019 in Scotland featuring 8 teams with the top 2 qualifying for the 2020 T20 World Cup.[20][21] The fifth qualifier tournament was held in September 2022 in the United Arab Emirates featuring 8 teams with the top 2 qualifying for the 2023 T20 World Cup.[22][23]

Expansion to 10 teams (2024–present)

[edit]

The sixth qualifier (now named the "Global Qualifier") was held in April – May 2024 in the United Arab Emirates, featuring 10 teams, with the top 2 teams qualifying for the 2024 T20 World Cup.[24][25] The seventh Global Qualifier was held in January – February 2026 in Nepal, featuring 10 teams, with the top 4 teams qualifying for the 2026 T20 World Cup.[26][27]

Qualification

[edit]

Until 2019, one host team and the bottom two teams from the previous World Twenty20 qualified directly, while the remaining 5 spots were filled by teams that advanced from the regional qualifiers.

Tournament

[edit]

The tournament is primarily held in two stages. The preliminary stage, or group stage, features 2 groups of 4 (2013–2022) or 5 (since 2024) teams in a round-robin format. Until 2022, the second stage had two sub-stages: shield stage and final stage. The top 4 teams from the preliminary stage advanced to the final stage, a knockout stage, while the bottom 4 played the shield stage, a repechage stage with consolation playoffs. In 2024, the shield stage was discontinued. In 2026, the second stage was changed into the Super stage, a round-robin stage of 6 teams known as the Super 6 stage.[a]

In case of a tie (that is, both teams scoring the same number of runs at the end of their respective innings), a Super Over is used to decide the winner since 2009. In the case of a tie occurring again in the Super Over, subsequent Super Overs would be played until there is a winner. Prior to 2019, the match would be won by the team that had scored the most boundaries in their innings.[38] Until 2015, the tournament was played in a hybrid format: only the matches involving a full member country or an associate team with T20I status had international status and were considered as WT20I matches, while other matches were played as WT20 matches without international status.[39] In April 2018, the ICC announced that all member teams would be awarded full WT20I status from July 2018 onwards and since then, the tournament is played with full WT20I status.[40][41]
