The International Cricket Council (ICC) and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) today launched a bold new global marketing campaign – Catch the Spirit – igniting excitement ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup which will take place on home soil next summer including Utilita Bowl, known as the Hampshire Bowl for ICC events.
Featuring world-class stars Ellyse Perry (Australia), Hayley Matthews (West Indies), Lauren Bell (England) and Richa Ghosh (India) — with a special cameo from cricket legend Andrew Flintoff — the campaign showcases the infectious energy a country feels when a World Cup comes to town.
Firstly, West Indies and New Zealand will battle it out at the venue on Saturday 13th June. A double header then arrives on Tuesday 16th June with New Zealand taking on Sri Lanka, before England take on one of the teams who is yet to qualify.
The White Ferns are back in action at the venue on Friday 19th June, with their opponents yet to qualify. Finally, Australia and Pakistan are part of a double header on Saturday 20th June, both facing off against teams who also have not qualified yet.
Saturday 13th June: West Indies Women v New Zealand Women, Hampshire Bowl 18:30 BST
Tuesday 16th June: New Zealand Women v Sri Lanka Women, Hampshire Bowl 14:30 BST
Tuesday 16th June: England Women v Qualifier, Hampshire Bowl 18:30 BST
Friday 19th June: New Zealand Women v Qualifier, Hampshire Bowl 18:30 BST
Saturday 20th June: Australia Women v Qualifier, Hampshire Bowl 10:30 BST
Saturday 20th June: Pakistan Women v Qualifier, Hampshire Bowl 14:30 BST
The tournament is set to offer hundreds of thousands of fans the chance to see the world’s best cricketers in action at world-class venues up and down the country and is a huge opportunity to propel women’s cricket firmly into the mainstream.
For me Catch the Spirit means big crowds, big moments and big energy! Watching the girls win the 2017 World Cup is what motivated me to become a cricketer and the opportunity to inspire fans across the country next summer is huge.
We’ve seen the amazing impact the Lionesses have had on football, particularly after their home Euros – and we want this to be cricket’s moment!
