Background
Format
The 12 qualifying teams are divided into two groups of six teams; all the six teams in a group play with all the others – for a total of fifteen matches – and the top two teams in each group advance to the knockout stage.[6]
Qualification
In July 2022, the ICC confirmed the qualification process for the tournament. The hosts, England along with the top five teams from the 2024 edition qualified automatically for the tournament.[7] The remaining automatic qualification spot was taken by the best-ranked team in the ICC Women's T20I Team Rankings which had not already qualified, as of 20 October 2024. The four remaining places will be filled via the global qualifier, in which teams will advance from the regional qualifiers.
