The teams arrived in the Argentinian capital on Friday with hopes of advancing to the final stage of qualification – the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier 2026 – a ten-team global event which will determine the remaining teams that will feature in England and Wales in 2026. Twelve matches in a double round-robin format will be held across the eight-day competition, kicking off with an opening double-header of Canada v USA and Argentina v Brazil at the St Albans Club Ground on Monday. Teams will play each other twice before the event concludes on 17 March with only the table-topping side advancing to the next stage. A vibrant build-up also witnessed the launch of a participation programme for girls in Argentina on International Women's Day, with the competing teams leading the festivities alongside Argentinian Olympic stars including three-time hockey medallist and flag-bearer at Paris 2024, Rocio Sanchez Moccia. All matches in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 Americas Qualifier will be available to watch live on while fans in the Asian subcontinent can follow the action on FanCode. President of Cricket Argentina, Hernan Pereyra, said: 'As we prepare to welcome the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 Americas Qualifier, I extend my warmest greetings to all participants and supporters. Buenos Aires, a city full of culture and vibrant energy, is the perfect stage for this prestigious tournament. 'This event brings together the best teams in the region, all competing for a place on the road to the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026. The stakes are high, and the passion and determination on display will inspire future generations of cricketers across the Americas.' Reflecting on the prospect of qualifying for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026, Argentina captain Alison Stocks, stated: 'It would be a dream come true. I don't know how long I have in the game but I know that the young team that is playing in the Americas Qualifier deserves it, and it would be an honour to help these young girls accomplish this huge goal.'

ODI record broken in USA's defiant Al-Amerat defence
By Daniel Beswick Records have been rewritten in Cricket World Cup League 2 action in Oman, with the USA defending 122 against the tri-series hosts - the lowest successfully defended totals in men's ODIs and excluding matches with a revised target or reduced overs. Oman v USA, League 2 ODI, Scorecard In conditions heavily favouring spin, it was the metronomic work of Nosthush Kenjige that led the American charge, claiming figures of 5/11 from 7.3 overs to sink the hosts for just 65. The score is Oman's lowest in the men's international format. While the surface at the Oman Cricket Academy has shown more zip in previous years, most notably at the 2021 edition of the T20 World Cup, the recent ODI tri-series which forms part of Cricket World Cup 2027 qualification has seen conditions suit slower bowlers. Not a single over of pace was bowled in the match, with Oman's five-pronged spin attack matched by USA's Milind Kumar, Harmeet Singh, Yasir Mohammad and Kenjige. Electing to bowl in the hope of emulating their spin success against Namibia two days prior, the hosts stifled Monank Patel's side, with the skipper (0) one of the five baters to fall inside the first 13 overs. Aaron Jones (16) and Sanjay Krishnamurthi (16) fought in spite of the elements, though it was Milind (47*) on a solo mission, hitting six boundaries to move the score past three figures. The Americans lasted just 35.3 overs with Shakeel Ahmad's 3/20, the best for the Omanis, though the effort would be usurped by their opposition's spin quartet. Milind's off-spin (2/17) claimed the key wicket of Oman captain Jatinder Singh (7), and the men from the Sultanate showed little resolve in their chase. Harmeet (1/25) and Yasir's 2/10 complimented Kenjige, who wrapped up proceedings by trapping No.11 Siddharth Bukkapatnam (0).
