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. On-field heroes Claire Taylor and Lydia Greenway, as well as coach England Mark Lane and journalist Raf Nicholson, speak to a different sporting landscape, and a tournament that set the ball rolling for the success of the women's game. 0:00 Intro 0:58 Metro Bank Champion of Women's & Girls Cricket 1:21 Setting the scene on where women's cricket was in 2009 7:22 Double-header style tournament 10:02 Taunton group stage with Mark Lane 16:40 Claire Taylor's extraordinary form 22:16 Semi-final at The Oval 31:00 Final at Lord's 34:26 Celebrations 39:04 Legacy of the 2009 World Cup ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- England is about to experience women's cricket like never before: bigger, bolder and better than ever.
