The 2019 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier is an upcoming international women's cricket tournament scheduled to be held in August and September 2019 in Scotland. It will be the fourth edition of the Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier and will be the qualification tournament for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup tournament. The top two teams from the qualifier tournament will progress to the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia. In June 2019, Cricket Scotland confirmed the tournament dates, format and venues. The full schedule was confirmed on 8 August 2019.
In July 2019, the International Cricket Council (ICC) suspended Zimbabwe Cricket, with the team barred from taking part in ICC events, which put their participation in the tournament in doubt. The following month, with Zimbabwe banned from taking part in international cricket tournaments, the ICC confirmed that Namibia would replace them in the tournament.
Qualification[]
Eight teams are scheduled to compete in the qualifier for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. The first teams to qualify were Bangladesh and Ireland, who finished bottom of the group at the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament. Twenty-six teams entered qualifying for the remaining five places, with Scotland gaining the hosting rights in March 2019. In Asia, Thailand defeated the United Arab Emirates on the final match day to finish with a perfect record to book their place into the qualifier.
In May 2019, qualification tournaments were held in Africa, East-Asia and Pacific and the Americas. Zimbabwe, Papua New Guinea, and the United States all won their respective groups to advance to the qualifier. The final qualifying tournament was in Europe, which saw the Netherlands become the final team to reach the qualifier, as they finished ahead of Scotland on net run rate. On 7 August 2019, Zimbabwe was removed from the competition and replaced by Namibia due to their suspension from the ICC.
