The T20 Blaze will feature five full days of entertainment for the fans from March 17 to 25 at Warner Park. There will be three daily matches – starting at 10 am, 2:30 pm and 7 pm (under lights).

Barbados are the defending champions in both the CG United Super50 Cup and T20 Blaze.

The other teams are the Trinidad & Tobago Red Force Divas, Guyana, Jamaica, Windward Islands, and the Leeward Islands.

The Tournament starts a busy year for the West Indies Women, which see them play all their international matches away, starting with Pakistan in April, Sri Lanka in June, the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in Bangladesh in October, finishing with a tour of India in December.

CWI’s Director of cricket, Miles Bascombe said, “This year’s CG United Super50 Cup and T20 Blaze will be a great opportunity to build on what we started in 2023, with the creation of the West Indies Women’s Academy and the commendable performance of the Under 19 Women’s team in the historic inaugural ICC Women’s U19 Cricket World Cup last year.

2024 is a packed year in the women’s calendar with three away bi-lateral series in Asia along with an ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in Bangladesh.

The ladies have the perfect opportunity to put their names forward for selection into any of these squads by their performances in the CG United Super50 and T20 Blaze tournaments. We are all looking forward to some scintillating performances over in St. Kitts.”

Matches will be streamed LIVE on the Windies Cricket YouTube channel with live scorecards and ball-by-ball scoring on the Windiescricket.com live match centre.
