After a riveting 31 matches in what has been the biggest edition of the tournament to date, the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 is entering its business end, with just two matches left to play. Today at 6:30pm BST, the second semifinal sees England take on South Africa at Kennington Oval in London.

Hosts England have stormed into the semifinals after winning all five of their group-stage matches, including convincing victories over the West Indies, Sri Lanka, and even defending champions New Zealand. The only area they'd like to tidy up before the semis is their catching, having dropped the most catches (16) of any team in the tournament.

South Africa, on the other hand, come into the semifinals having survived the group of death. They beat India to effectively knock them out of the tournament and will now be hoping to reach their third consecutive T20 World Cup final. Although the South African bowlers have shown good form, they'll need their batting to step up, especially on a potentially high-scoring pitch.

Elsewhere, Sophie Molineux's Australia are firm favourites to lift the trophy and have looked dominant throughout the tournament, winning all six of their matches so far, including the first semifinal against the West Indies.

Read on to find out how to watch the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 from wherever you are, including free options.
