The first week of November belonged to the leagues in women's cricket, and the rest of the month does too — with a new tournament in the United Arab Emirates on top. From 8 to 30 November 2026, WBBL|12 plays 26 more league matches and decides its finalists, the ICC Women's Emerging Nations Trophy brings ten teams to Ajman, the Women's Victoria T20I Series crowns a winner in Entebbe, and England's young sides arrive in India at the end of the month.
There are no senior women's bilateral internationals in this window — the same as the first week. The international cricket on show is the Emerging Nations Trophy and the Victoria T20I Series, while the WBBL and the domestic competitions carry the rest of the calendar. Here is every women's fixture from 8 to 30 November 2026, with dates, venues and start times in venue-local time.

Matches of the Window — Derby Days

The Melbourne derbies decide the Melbourne Mace, contested in the WBBL for the first time. Melbourne Stars host Melbourne Renegades at Junction Oval on Sunday, 22 November at 7:10 PM AEDT, and the Renegades return the fixture on Saturday, 28 November at 3:40 PM AEDT at the same ground.
ICC Women's Emerging Nations Trophy — Ajman
The biggest new tournament of the window is the ICC Women's Emerging Nations Trophy, played from 12 to 25 November in Ajman, in the United Arab Emirates. Ten teams play 30 matches across two grounds — the Karwan Sports Club Cricket Ground and the Seven Districts Sports Club — in a format of 20 group games, nine Super Six games and a final. Thailand are the defending champions. The tournament was originally scheduled for Bangkok, but was moved to Ajman after flooding in Thailand, so any fixture list still showing Bangkok venues is out of date.
The ten teams are split into two groups of five. Group A has Sri Lanka, Ireland, Scotland, Papua New Guinea and hosts UAE. Group B has Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Netherlands and Zimbabwe.
Opening Day — Thursday, 12 November
The tournament opens with four matches. At 9:00 AM GST, Sri Lanka take on Ireland at the Karwan Sports Club Ground, and Papua New Guinea face Scotland at Seven Districts. The afternoon session, at 1:15 PM GST, is headlined by Pakistan against Bangladesh at Karwan, with Netherlands against Thailand at Seven Districts at the same time.
Group Stage — 13, 15, 16 and 18 November
The group stage runs over four more days, with rest days on 14 and 17 November. Pakistan's group path runs through Thailand on Friday, 13 November, Netherlands on Sunday, 15 November and Zimbabwe on Monday, 16 November. Ireland's path runs through UAE on 13 November, Papua New Guinea on 16 November and Scotland on Wednesday, 18 November, the final day of the group stage. The top three teams from each group go through to the Super Six.
Ireland named a 14-player squad for the tournament, captained by Gaby Lewis, with debutants Zara Craig and Abbi Harrison and Lara Maritz recalled after five years — see the Ireland squad announcement for the full squad.
Super Six — 20, 22 and 23 November
The Super Six is played on Friday, 20 November, Sunday, 22 November and Monday, 23 November, with three matches on each day across the two grounds in Ajman. The top three from each group carry their results forward, and the top two at the end of the Super Six meet in the final.
The Final — Wednesday, 25 November
The final is played on Wednesday, 25 November at 9:00 AM GST at the Karwan Sports Club Ground, between the top two teams of the Super Six.
