Former Australian cricket team captain, Meg Lanning, has been chosen as the official ambassador by Prime Video for its exclusive broadcasting rights of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. Lanning has won more than seven ICC World Cups and led five as the captain of the Australian women’s national cricket team.
This would be the first time that Australia will participate in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup without Lanning since she announced her retirement late last year. Lanning will still be part of the coverage, however-an expert providing analysis and insights as part of Prime Video’s coverage. This way, while moving from the playing field to the commentator’s booth, Lanning can offer her special perspective.
UAE to Host 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024
The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup will for the first time host the UAE from October 3 to 21. Ten teams will vie in 23 matches staged at two venues: Dubai and Sharjah. Original host Bangladesh will begin with a game against Scotland in Sharjah, while defending champions Australia will play Sri Lanka in their inaugural match on October 6.
Australia Stalks at Fourth Consecutive Title
Now, one of the teams to watch will be Australia trying to make it four successive T20 World Cup titles. Fans can watch all the action live and exclusively on Prime Video, which has the rights for Australian broadcast, in the semi-finals on October 18 in Dubai and the grand final on October 21.
