Which country has hosted 2020 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup?

The ICC (International Cricket Council) assigns hosting rights for each edition of a global tournament separately, well in advance, to one or more member-nation venues; a country's hosting status for one edition does not carry over to another edition of the same tournament.

For the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup specifically, the tournament was staged across multiple Australian cities, with the final played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on International Women's Day (8 March 2020), where Australia defeated India in front of a record crowd.

Contrast with the other offered countries:

• Spain: not an ICC full member with a domestic international cricket circuit, so it has never been assigned hosting rights for a global ICC tournament of this kind.

• India: reached the final as the losing finalist in this edition and separately hosted the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in 2016 — being a finalist or hosting a different edition does not make a country the host of this specific tournament.

• South Africa: an established international cricket host that later staged the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup — but that later assignment does not extend back to the 2020 edition asked about here.

Cross-check: independent tournament records and match reports of the record-attendance MCG final on 8 March 2020 confirm the same host country.
