Women's T20 World Cup takes place in the United Arab Emirates on October 3-20 October .

Heather Knight's side have won six of the past seven tournaments.

England are favourites to finish top of their group which includes Scotland , South Africa and West Indies .

England have won 11 consecutive T20s up until the series finale against Ireland in September .

India 's frustration at recent World Cups has been similar to England 's.

They almost beat Australia in the 2023 semi-final only for Harmanpreet Kaur's bat getting stuck in the ground and causing her run out.

Australia 's star quality has faded somewhat in recent months , starting with T20 and ODI defeats.
