Women's T20 World Cup 2024 live streams: How to watch online, semi-finals begin

If you were worried that white ball cricket was over for another season, fear not! The Women’s T20 World Cup is here, and you can watch it! Bangladesh are the official hosts of the tournament, but political unrest in that country means it is being held in the UAE. It promises to be a thrilling competition, with some top talent on display.

Follow our guide below for where to watch Women’s T20 World Cup live stream from anywhere with a VPN, potentially for free.

After some brilliant cricket, we're at the knock-out stage of the Women's T20 World Cup. We have some surprise inclusions in the final four, as both India and England fell at the group stage. It means New Zealand and West Indies will play in the second semi-final. The White Ferns performed impressively to beat Pakistan and knock out India. They will fancy their chance of beating a West Indies side who benefited from poor Engish fielding to win and book their place in the semi-finals.

The first semi-final is between two big hitters — Australia and South Africa. It's a rematch of last year's final, in which the Aussies prevailed to lift the trophy once again. Watch out for Ellyse Perry and Alyssa Healy, who can both do real damage with the bat. The reigning champions are the favourites to go onto the final to defend their title. However, don't write off their opponents who have performed admirably, winning three of their four group games.

Here's how to watch the Women's T20 World Cup live stream from anywhere.
