Claire Polosak and Lauren Agenbag will be the on-field umpires as Bangladesh and Scotland kick off the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 in Sharjah.

The match referee and umpires have been announced for all group stage matches for the ninth edition of the tournament, which begins on 3 October.

The opening match forms part of a double-header, with Pakistan and Sri Lanka also in action when the tournament begins in United Arab Emirates.

Sue Redfern will be the TV umpire for the opening match, while GS Lakshmi will be the match referee.

Meanwhile, Kim Cotton and Eloise Sheridan will preside over Pakistan and Sri Lanka’s meeting later in the day.

Sheridan and Agenbag will then join forces to umpire the highly anticipated meeting between India and Pakistan at Dubai International Stadium on 6 October, that will come a day after Australia begin the defence of their title against Sri Lanka on 5 October, with Redfern and Anna Harris umpiring.

Australia are the competition’s most successful side, taking home six titles from eight tournaments since its inception in 2009.

Vrinda Rathi and Redfern will oversee another rivalry, as New Zealand play Australia on 9 October.

On a bumper day of action on 13 October, Agenbag and Polosak will watch over Scotland’s fixture against England before India and Australia meet in what will likely be one of the matches of the tournament later that day. They will be overseen by Cotton and Redfern at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, with Jacqueline Williams the TV umpire.

To see out the group stage, Sheridan and Sarah Dambanevana will be the on-field umpires for the potentially pivotal clash between England and the West Indies.

Match official appointments for the two semi-finals and final are yet to be confirmed.
