Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final qualification format
Among the 12 teams at the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 that are categorised into two groups of six teams each, every team would have played against all other five teams of its group once.
Only the top two teams in both groups advance to the semi-finals based on their points. In case there is a draw on points, net run rate (NRR) serves as the first criteria of breaking ties.
The first semi-final sees the winner of Group A playing the runner-up of Group B while the second semi-final pits the winner of Group B against the runner-up of Group A.
