The T20 format has revolutionized women's cricket, fueling unprecedented growth and excitement across the globe. Leading this transformation is Australia, a dominant force in women's T20 cricket, having won six out of the eight Women's T20 World Cups since the tournament's inception in 2009.
While Australia’s supremacy has been remarkable, a few teams have risen to challenge their dominance. England and the West Indies have both posed significant threats, while India, New Zealand, and South Africa have made their mark by reaching the finals on several occasions. This growing competition underscores the increasing talent and intensity in women's cricket.
In 2024, New Zealand’s women’s team claimed victory in the Women's T20 World Cup, securing their status as the reigning champions.
