Mumbai: Google Doodles are special, temporary alterations of the logo on the Google homepage to celebrate holidays, events, achievements, or notable individuals. They often feature playful designs, animations, or interactive games, making them an engaging way to honour cultural moments and important figures.
Google frequently updates its doodles to reflect various global celebrations, awareness days, or significant anniversaries, bringing attention to diverse topics and inspiring users to learn more. In celebration of women’s empowerment in cricket, Google has dedicated today’s search engine logo to the participants of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.
Women’s T20 World Cup 2024
The ninth edition of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 is hosted by the United Arab Emirates, featuring ten teams from across the globe. The tournament will commence with a group stage divided into two groups of five. After a series of matches, the top two teams from each group will progress to the knockout semi-finals.
The winners of the semi-final matches will face off in the finals, vying for the coveted trophy. Australia has consistently proven to be a dominant force in the Women’s T20 World Cup, and the reigning champions are looking to secure their seventh title.
New entrants, including Scotland, will compete in the tournament for the first time, adding to the excitement.
Originally, the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 was slated to be held in Bangladesh. However, due to significant political turmoil in the country, the tournament’s location was shifted to the UAE. All 23 matches will take place in Sharjah and Dubai, with the final scheduled for October 20.
Despite the venue change, Bangladesh retains the hosting rights and officially kicked off the tournament on October 2, with Pakistan set to compete against Sri Lanka in the evening.
Group A features defending champion Australia, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand, while Group B includes South Africa, England, West Indies, Bangladesh, and Scotland.

The Berlin Wall had fallen a year earlier, prompting Germans to begin bridging the economic and cultural divides between the two regions. While much of the Berlin Wall has been transformed into protected green space, the East Side Gallery remains the longest intact section.
