With 100 days to go until the opening matches of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2017, excitement is building as fans start to snap up tickets to watch their team in action.

Since tickets went on sale last Wednesday (8/3), around 3,000 tickets have been sold in the first week for the 31 matches.

The most sought after match has been the Final at Lord’s on Sunday 23 July, with total sales now past 10,000. England v India, the opening match in Derby, has been so popular that it is already close to being a sell-out.

Hosts England will be banking on strong home support with its games all in popular demand. Other top selling matches are:
• England v Australia in Bristol -
• England v Pakistan in Leicester
• India v Pakistan in Derby
• England v Sri Lanka in Taunton
• The Semi-Finals in Bristol and Derby

Tournament Director, Steve Elworthy, said: “We are pleased with how the first week of sales has gone, giving us a really strong start. Tickets are selling for each of the 31 matches, with some already starting to approach a sell-out. With tickets at affordable prices, fans should buy now to avoid missing out on watching the world’s best players in action.”

The tournament will get underway on Saturday, 24 June as 28 matches will be held over 21 days, including four weekends, meaning more opportunities for fans and families to attend. A round-robin between the world’s eight best teams will conclude with the semi-finals at Bristol and Derby before the final at Lord’s on 23 July.

Tickets for group stage matches start at £10 for adults, £5 for students (aged between 17 and 23-years-old) and £2 for under-16s. 

The ICC Women’s World Cup 2017 Hundred Club:

• Since the Women’s World Cup first started in 1973, there have been 45 100s scored by 29 different players. Eight of these players could feature in this summer’s tournament.

• New Zealand v Sri Lanka in Bristol on Saturday 24 June could see New Zealand captain, Suzie Bates score her third century at a Women’s World Cup. Should she score one during the tournament, she will match former England batsman Claire Taylor’s record of bringing up three figures at three consecutive Women’s World Cup’s. If Bates scores two or more during New Zealand’s campaign this summer, she would equal or beat the record of the most 100s scored at a Women’s World Cup, which is currently held jointly by former England cricketers, Jeanette Brittan and Charlotte Edwards.

• England v India in Derby on Saturday 24 June could see India captain, Mithali Raj, as well as teammates Thirush Kamini and Harmanpreet Kaur each go in search of their second 100 at a Women’s World Cup.

• Pakistan v South Africa in Leicester on Sunday 25 June could see South Africa’s Marizanne Kapp score her second 100 at a Women’s World Cup.

• Australia v West Indies in Taunton on Monday 26 June could see Australia captain, Meg Lanning, and West Indies captain, Stafanie Taylor, battle it out to see who gets their second 100 at a Women’s World Cup first.
