The highly anticipated India-Pakistan clash in the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup will now be hosted in Dubai on October 6, following the ICC's announcement of revised fixtures.

Dubai will also be the venue for the tournament's grand finale on October 20.

The tournament was moved to the UAE due to the political instability in Bangladesh.

Sharjah, the second host city, will be the site of the critical India-Australia match on October 13.

Sharjah will also host the second semifinal on October 18, while Dubai will host the first semifinal on October 17, should India qualify.

The group compositions remain unchanged, with Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka in Group A, and South Africa, England, West Indies, Bangladesh, and Scotland in Group B.

Each team will play four group-stage matches, with the top two from each group advancing to the semifinals. The ICC has scheduled reserve days for both the semifinals and the final.

Furthermore, 10 warm-up matches are set to take place from September 28 to October 1.
