Australia play Pakistan in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 Group A at Headingley Cricket Ground, Leeds, on Tuesday 23 June 2026, with the match starting at 18:30 BST (UTC+1). Headingley Cricket Ground holds 18,350 spectators and is located in the Yorkshire city of Leeds.

Australia Women enter this match as six-time ICC Women’s T20 World Cup champions, the most decorated team in the history of the format. Their squad combines experience and youth, with Alyssa Healy’s wicketkeeping and batting, Beth Mooney’s top-order reliability, and the all-round excellence of Ellyse Perry providing a core that is the envy of every rival programme. Australia’s World Cup record means this Group A match is effectively a statement opportunity for Pakistan.

Pakistan Women have raised their standards considerably in recent years. Nida Dar’s all-round skills and Bismah Maroof’s batting leadership provide a foundation, while their developing players benefit from increasing Women’s Super League domestic cricket. Competing against Australia is the highest possible test of Pakistan’s progress, and performing well on this occasion would be a significant milestone for the programme.

Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds has hosted international cricket for well over a century and carries a particular energy for evening fixtures. With a capacity of 18,350, the ground is intimate by international standards, with stands that create an enclosed atmosphere. Yorkshire’s cricketing tradition means the Headingley crowd is among the sport’s most engaged.
