Women's Cricket World Cup: All you need to know

England Women are aiming to successfully defend the 50-over Cricket World Cup - and you can watch each of their games live on Sky Sports.

Heather Knight's team kick off their campaign in New Zealand on March 5 as they once again do battle with Australia, weeks after sliding to a 12-4 Ashes defeat to Meg Lanning's Southern Stars.

England then face West Indies and South Africa, before a rematch of the 2017 final occurs as they meet India, the side they sunk by nine runs at Lord's on an unforgettable Sunday afternoon five years ago.

Knight's side conclude the group phase with fixtures against New Zealand, Pakistan and Bangladesh, after which they will be hoping to play in the semi-finals and, ultimately, the final in Christchurch on April 3.
