Teams and qualification
In April 2022, the ICC confirmed the qualification process for the tournament.[1] Bangladesh qualified for the tournament automatically as the hosts. Scotland qualified for the Women's T20 World Cup for the first time after defeating Ireland in the first semi-final of the qualifier.[3][4] Sri Lanka became the second qualifier and reached their ninth T20 World Cup after defeating United Arab Emirates in the second semi-final.[5] Overall, nine out of ten teams from 2023 reached the T20 World Cup, with the only difference being Scotland replacing Ireland.[6]
