The final of the tournament will be played at Australia’s iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The ICC is hopeful that the stadium attendance during the final game will break the existing record of most number of people watching a women’s sporting event inside any stadium.

The current record of crowd attendance during a women’s sporting event is 90,185, which was set at the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup final in Pasadena, California. This will be the first time when the ICC will be organizing women’s T20 World Cup as a standalone tournament. The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will be played later in the year from October 18 to November 15, 2020, in Australia.

The ICC is expecting to host more than one million fans for cricket’s fastest-growing format, to be played in Australia for the first time.
