ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 Semi-Final 1 takes place at The Oval, London, on Tuesday 30 June 2026, starting at 14:30 BST (UTC+1). The Oval holds 27,500 spectators and is one of London’s great cricket venues; this knockout match, pitting the Group A winner against the Group B runner-up, is a one-match elimination where the prize is a place in the Lord’s final.

The Oval is hosting both semi-finals of this 10th edition of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. Only four teams remain in the tournament at this stage, and every ball carries the weight of an entire campaign.

The semi-final stage transforms the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup into something elemental. Teams that have navigated the group stage, built momentum, and shown consistency across five matches now face a single knockout: win or go home. The Group A winner meets the Group B runner-up in a fixture shaped by how each side performed across the group phase. Seedings matter here, and the tactical preparation for this specific matchup will have begun from the moment the semi-final picture became clear.

The Oval at Kennington, capacity 27,500, first hosted Test cricket in 1880 and has been one of England’s premier international venues ever since. Situated in South London with strong transport links from across the city, it draws large, knowledgeable crowds who add genuine atmosphere to every high-stakes occasion. An ICC Women’s semi-final at The Oval in summer is exactly the kind of fixture that proves women’s cricket has arrived as mainstream sport.

Both semi-finalists at this stage have proven themselves across five group matches. They have handled pressure, adapted to English conditions, and demonstrated the depth of squad required to win consistently at a World Cup. The team that wins this semi-final will play at Lord’s, the Home of Cricket, in the final four days later.
