Australia play Netherlands in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 Group A at the Rose Bowl, Southampton, on Saturday 20 June 2026, with the match starting at 10:30 BST (UTC+1). The Rose Bowl has a capacity of 25,000 and is located on the south coast of England.

Australia Women are the most successful team in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup history, with six titles to their name. They set the global standard for women’s cricket professionalism, physical conditioning, and tactical intelligence. Alyssa Healy’s wicketkeeping and batting, Beth Mooney’s reliability, and the all-round quality of players like Ellyse Perry give Australia extraordinary depth. Australia’s record at World Cups means they arrive at every tournament as favourites, and their results consistently justify that status.

Netherlands Women are building their programme with each major international experience. Qualification for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is a significant milestone for Dutch women’s cricket, providing access to the world’s best players and highest-quality facilities. The Netherlands women’s cricket programme has invested in coaching and development in recent years, and each World Cup appearance accelerates that progress.

The Rose Bowl in Southampton opened in 2001 and became one of England’s premier international cricket venues. With a capacity of 25,000, its modern facilities and south coast location, where summer weather tends to be warmer than in the north, make it an attractive venue for players and spectators. A morning start at 10:30 BST means conditions could favour swing bowling before the pitch settles.
