With the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup getting underway this week, Katya looks back on the last time England hosted the tournament in 2009, a tournament they won.
Whilst England's 2017 World Cup win is often attributed as being a momentous moment for the women's game in the UK, the 2009 T20 World Cup laid the foundations for what was to come.

England is about to experience women's cricket like never before: bigger, bolder and better than ever. This is what Metro Bank have been working for, championing women’s and girls’ cricket on the biggest stage to inspire the teams of the future.
The new era's here, and Metro Bank are right at the heart of it.
