The 2025 ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup is set to commence from January 18 to February 2, 2025, in Malaysia, marking the second edition of this prestigious tournament.
Following the success of the inaugural edition in South Africa in 2023, where India emerged as champions, anticipation is high for this year’s event, which will feature 16 teams competing for the title.
Tournament Structure and Format
The tournament will be structured into four groups, with each group containing four teams. The teams will play in a round-robin format during the group stage, where each team will face the others in their group.
The top three teams from each group will advance to the Super Six stage, while the bottom-ranked teams from Groups A and D, as well as Groups B and C, will compete in last-place playoffs on January 24.
Overall, 41 matches are scheduled to take place over a span of 16 days, culminating in the final match on February 2.
This format not only enhances competition but also provides ample opportunities for young talents to showcase their skills on an international platform.
