ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 Semi-Final 2 takes place at The Oval, London, on Thursday 2 July 2026, starting at 18:30 BST (UTC+1). The Oval holds 27,500 spectators; this evening knockout fixture, pitting the Group B winner against the Group A runner-up, is a floodlit elimination match with a Lord’s final place as the prize.

Two days after Semi-Final 1 at the same venue, The Oval hosts its second knockout match of this 10th edition of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. The evening start means this semi-final will be played under the floodlights, creating one of the most atmospheric settings in women’s cricket.

Semi-Final 2 is the final knockout before Lord’s. The Group B winner arrives with the confidence of having topped their group; the Group A runner-up brings the resilience of a side that has recovered from at least one setback and still found a way through. Both teams have earned their place here by performing across five group matches under World Cup conditions.

The evening slot at The Oval carries its own character. As the July light fades and the floodlights take over, the ground settles into a cauldron atmosphere that is uniquely suited to T20 knockout cricket. The boundary dimensions at The Oval, among the larger in England, reward proper stroke play and make this an interesting tactical challenge for both captains.

Both semi-finalists here have proven they belong among the world’s best four women’s T20 teams. The three-day gap between the two semi-finals means the winner of this match will have less preparation time for the final, adding a further layer of physical and mental challenge.
