The 2012 ICC Women's World Twenty20 was an international Twenty20 cricket tournament held in Sri Lanka from 23 September to 7 October 2012.^[1] The group stage matches were played at the Galle International Stadium in Galle and Semi-Finals and Finals were played at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The competition was held simultaneously with the equivalent men's tournament, the 2012 ICC World Twenty20.

The eventual victors were the 2010 champions Australia, who beat pre-tournament favourites^[2] England by four runs in the final, a match which came down to the final ball.^[3] England captain Charlotte Edwards blamed this defeat on a "lack of discipline" in her side,^[4] whilst Test Match Special analyst Ebony Rainford-Brent cited underachieving bowlers and England's inability to rotate the strike.^[4]

With a total of 172 runs (an average of 43 per game), Edwards was named player of the tournament.^[5]

Format

The format of the competition is effectively identical to that of the super-eight and knock-out stages of the men's tournament.

Following warm-up matches, the teams were divided into two groups where matches were played in a round-robin format.

Group A	Group B
England	Sri Lanka
Australia	New Zealand
India	West Indies
Pakistan	South Africa

The two best placed teams from each group progressed to the two-round knock-out stage, whilst the eliminated teams played each other for qualification for the 2014 tournament.

Venues

All matches were played at the following two grounds:

Galle	Colombo	Galle Colombo
Galle International Stadium	R. Premadasa Stadium
Capacity: 35,000	Capacity: 35,000
