Australia, England, West Indies, South Africa Reach Women's T20 World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals

The ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 has its semi-finalists: Australia, England, West Indies, and South Africa, following a competitive group stage that concluded at Lord's Cricket Ground.

Undefeated Australia, the most successful team in the tournament's history with six titles, topped Group A. They will face West Indies, the 2016 champions, who finished second in Group B. West Indies' path to the semi-finals was not entirely smooth, as they lost two group matches after a strong start, ultimately securing their spot by a superior net run rate over Sri Lanka.

The second semi-final pits hosts England against South Africa. England has demonstrated dominant form, winning all five of their group matches. South Africa, a finalist in the last two editions, also navigated a challenging group, losing only to Australia and showing resilience in a close match against India that secured their semi-final berth. They are aiming for their first World Cup title.

The semi-final matches are scheduled for Tuesday, June 30, and Thursday, July 2, at The Oval in London. The winners will compete for the championship title at Lord's on July 5.
