Women's T20 World Cup 2026: Ranking all teams from strongest to weakest

The upcoming Women's T20 World Cup will be the 10th edition of the marquee event. The tournament has been expanded to 12 teams from the 10 that participated in the previous edition in 2024, which New Zealand won by beating South Africa in the final.

This time, the tournament will be hosted by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). The global extravaganza gets rolling on Friday, June 12. Let's take a look at how the teams are looking ahead of the tournament.

Here's the ranking of Women's T20 World Cup 2026 teams from strongest to weakest

12. Netherlands

The Netherlands are making their debut in the Women's T20 World Cup. They are ranked 14th in ICC's rankings for women's teams in T20I cricket. They are placed in what could be called the "Group of Death" - Group A, with three heavyweights like Australia, South Africa, and India being there. This is going to be a learning experience for the Dutch players.

11. Scotland

In terms of the ICC rankings, Scotland find themselves at No. 11. They will have a slight edge because most of their players play domestic cricket in England and would know what to expect from the conditions. Scotland will be targeting their first win against a full-member side at a Women's World Cup.
